Controller Action ambiguity even with [HttpPost] attribute? (ASP.NET MVC4) - asp.net

Question

So I have a "Register" view (that maps to a RegisterController), which is a simple form for people to register in my service. Given that the form's method is POST, then I can name both actions of the controller (the one that shows the form, and the one that receives its submission) the same name, but discriminate them via the [HttpPost] attribute, this way:
open System
open System.Web
open System.Web.Mvc
open System.Net
open System.Threading
open System.Configuration
[<HandleError>]
type RegisterController() =
inherit Controller()
member this.Index (guid: string) =
let model = new RegisterModel(guid)
this.View("Register", model) :> ActionResult
[<HttpPost>]
member this.Index
(guid: string, password: string, passwordRetry: string) =
if not (password.Equals(passwordRetry)) then
raise(new Exception("Passwords must be the same"))
WebDbAccess.SetNewPassword guid password
RedirectResult("/") :> ActionResult
This works perfectly.
However, I just tried to use this same technique in the Home view of my app (for the Login functionality), and it doesn't work! It throws this:
The current request for action 'Index' on controller type 'HomeController' is ambiguous between the following action methods:
System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult Index(System.String, System.String) on type FsWeb.Controllers.HomeController
System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult Index() on type FsWeb.Controllers.HomeController

What's the difference between the 2 cases? I don't get it.
The HomeController's implementation is:
open System
open System.Web
open System.Web.Http
[<HandleError>]
type HomeController() =
inherit Controller()
[<HttpGet>]
member this.Index () =
this.View() :> ActionResult
[<HttpPost>]
member this.Index
(id:string, password:string) =
if (UserIsValid id password) then
RedirectResult("lobby") :> ActionResult
RedirectResult("loginError") :> ActionResult

#nemesv was right, I had to fully qualify HttpPost with System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost because otherwise it would use System.Web.Http.HttpPost!!
