Hamiltonians that are multivalued functions of momenta are of topical interest since they correspond to the Lagrangians containing higher-degree time derivatives. Incidentally, such classes of branched Hamiltonians lead to certain not too well understood ambiguities in the procedure of the quantization. Within this framework we pick up a model which samples the latter ambiguities and which, simultaneously, turns out to be amenable to a transparent analytic and perturbative treatment.
