Description
there is a small bug in the user interface for creating feeds. Sometimes you need to use the same node in the feed for two things in the post. Maybe the post title and also a post_meta for example. So... this is fine, as long as you enter the duplicate nodes LAST. If you make any change after you've entered and save, they get combined into one. Can you take a look at this and see if you see the bug that causes this to work this way?
Thanks,
James

Research direction
Start at the feed-creation user interface and reproduce the reported sequence: assign the same node to two post values, save, then make another change and save again. Trace how duplicate nodes are represented across those saves; done means both assignments remain separate after later edits.
