This just came to mind, if you are using OSX Mountain Lion (10.8), it has a feature that relaunches apps on login. This keys off apps active in the dock, so when Growl's dock icon is showing when you log out, OSX will launch Growl when you log back in, in addition to running the helper app we use to launch Growl (which tries to launch Growl even though it is already running). This could possibly trigger the edge case of double dock icons. Try turning off the start at login switch in Growl's preferences (but leave the dock icon visible), and try logging out and back in and see if Growl still launches. Growl 2.1's launcher helper has a check on whether Growl is already running before trying to launch it to avoid other issues related to double launching.
