as you found out duplicity does not like the par2 files unless it uses the par2
wrapper backend. unfortunately you ended up having chains w/ and w/o par2 files
mixed in a folder. that's not something that was anticipated during development
stage, obviously.
next time simply choose an alternate target location (folder) when you start
using par2 wrapper or do other major changes (like using a new duplicity
version) eg.
duplicity full /src file://backup
instead of
duplicity full /src par2+file://backupWithPar2
