Hmmm, works for me: GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.11.1, Carbon 
Version 1.6.0)

That will be tricky: binding <foo><bar> to a command implies that <foo>
is a prefix key i.e. bound to a keymap (see "prefix key" and "prefix
keymap" in the Emacs and Emacs Lisp manuals).

But you want <foo> bound to a command `bar' and <foo><foo> bound to a
different command `baz'.  I think the way around that is to bind <foo>
to a new custom command that checks whether the last command was `bar'
invoked by <foo>: if so, undo its changes and run `baz'.
