Thanks. I figured it was against the spirit of the law, but wasn't sure if the law was written to cover this specific case. Does anyone have a link to the actual legal text? I googled around a bit but haven't found it yet.
Actually that is not true, at least not yet. Passports are not scanned at every immigration checkpoint across the entire EU. In some cases it may be for technical reasons. In other cases (Paris), it's just because some policemen don't want to it seems. Although that has tightened up quite a bit in the last few years.

If the names in the passports differ slightly then I doubt that it would be detected unless someone is paying attention to you specifically.

In any way, I wanted to point out that independent if the police sees it at the border, I would definitely recommend not to use multiple passports to avoid the 90 days limitation.

I have zero doubt that it's not always detected at the Schengen immigration checkpoints, even when the biodata in both countries' passports are an exact match or just about an exact match with each other.

I am pretty sure that the regulations refer to a person staying in the Schengen area, not a passport. After all, if you lose your passport your stay doesn't suddenly become illegal.
