Consider using for, and returning the new set of values

(for [[a b] (partition 2 1 coll)]
   (if (= (:foo a) (:foo b))
       (dissoc a :foo)
       a))

Here I use partition so that each item can be compared to the one that 
follows it. You would likely want a final step that tacks on the last item 
in the input coll (since it is not processed by this code).
