It seems to be Technique 13.1.1
But I am having trouble finding the exact quote about unique link text there.

There is a reference under Link Text: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#link-text

"If more than one link on a page shares the same link text, all those links should point to the same resource. Such consistency will help page design as well as accessibility."

"If two or more links refer to different targets but share the same link text, distinguish the links by specifying a different value for the "title" attribute of each A element."

I believe it is a WCAG 1 Priority 2 requirement.
