No, it shouldn't: it's not uncommon for a system to have several DIR
files along INFOPATH with identical entries pointing to the same
manuals.  It would be a nuisance to see all those identical entries
line up in my face.

Let's not lose perspective here: TAB-completion is not supposed to
show you an exhaustive list of possibilities.  You can get to the
other "Emacs" entry if you manually move point there.  Or (better)
simply edit your DIR file to make the two entries distinct, as having
them identical is a bad idea anyway.  I'd also suggest to report this
as a bug to whoever maintains your system distribution.
