FAG rules are that the first one in is the one kept regardless of the data, However I have seen exceptions. So I would recommend that you create an event or note that you can refer to and mark the duplicates or circumstances until the issue is settled. If the FAG number changes and you do not have it it will be much harder to adjust than if you have the FAG number and they remove it. If you catch my drift. I use Grave Inscriptions and embed the full Find a grave # 23343223 and Plot if its there. I am now also putting the number in the provided place in Legacy. When I have a duplicate I just log it as Find a Grave # 243554 & 4533323. The next time I am looking there should be one of the two still valid.
