It is a feature. Firstly, you can have multiple copies of an app-bundle.

Secondly, since you expect a double-click on a file to open the connected 
application, there is make_services that sets up
a mapping database from file extensions to applications.

If the same application (as defined by the identifier in the Info.plist) is 
found twice, you will see this warning.

There is not much you can do to avoid this duplication. Except deleting 
duplicates…
But if they are really identical (except for file system tree location), it 
does not matter.
