With sighash_noinput, signers don't include their input's txid and index.
An even more powerful version would not even sign the pubkeyscript of the
input, which would allow some cool constructions.
In the case that there are multiple utxo outpoints which would be satisfied
by a single signature, miners can decide. It can be dangerous for this
reason if you re-use pubkeys. So don't! Especially in a multisig setting,
it seems unlikely to be a problem.
