shite like this is the reason the military stresses sounding out each individual number. one-three-two-eight and three-eight-two-eight
OR they could say "hey Delta, sit tight for a minute, Southwest is taking off first." Or whatever the correct order is.

Sometimes I have similar sounding call signs on freq. Even when I inform the pilots of each other they will still on occasion take each other's clearance. It will get blamed on the controller.

For what it's worth, the Professional Pilots' Rumor Network PPRuNE.org always seems to publish the most details about incidents like these.
