 Halfbakery: Synchronised Two-way Switches
Perhaps one of the worst cases is where a two sets of two-way switches are mounted together, but are set up in such away that all four switches being in the same orientation results in the two lights being in different states!
Perhaps my use of the nomenclature is not quite right, but I tend to think of the whole arrangement as being two-way switches, in that both switches are able to control the lights.
The individual switches in the traditional set-up are, as you point out [jurist], SPDT, but in the synchronised system an SPST would be used, effectively with two linked controls.
