Description

My repro was with the Mac SDK headers, but it's possible the bug could repro in other cases as well.

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points; begin by reproducing the duplicate Create / Copy Definition actions with Mac SDK headers and compare other cases. Trace the code-action implementation that produces these actions. Done means identifying why duplicates appear and preventing them, with a regression test if the relevant test area is found.
