Dualbleed, that is precisely one of the points addressed in the presentation I have sent to quite a few people now.

You did not register because of the use of two languages that two others were cleared to cross behind you.

Yet ICAO procedures do not assume that any aircraft listens to or gains any information from transmissions to other aircraft (the "party line"). Yet, as any pilot knows, we gain a LOT of our situational awareness from listening to other conversations.

Time perhaps for ICAO to address this?

I believe it is the controller's responsibility to clarify about her/his intensions. I had to call the tower once in SAT because of a badly interpreted instruction by ground. The problem is not so much the other language as the lack of precise ATC instructions.

Anyway, it shouldnt be a problem in a near future, according to the British Government it will be compulsory for every child to learn a second language from early age, some of them will certainly want to become pilots.

But like Captain Stable said, ICAO should address this problem, sooner rather than later.
