One more observation:

The bug appears to be related to :mailbox being a list of folders.
I just installed a rule on the IMAP server that puts part of my regular
incoming mail in another folder FOO.  Now downloading the messages from
the IMAP folder FOO into Gnus gives me more duplicates.  Any IMAP folder
beyond INBOX appears to show this behavior.
