that reminds me; we have had a similar problem with ABRT and
LibreOffice, if an in-process JVM is loaded. see for example:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731614#c9

when the in-process JVM is active and some SEGV occurs, the JVM has its
own handler to handle it (even though usually it's a crash in LO's C++
code) and that leads to ~10 identical JVM stack frames on the top,
regardless of the actual cause of the crash, and those are of course
easily wrongly detected as duplicates.
