More generally, Steve, responding to some themes I see in your posts over the 
past few months:

You have a habit of posting overblown speculations about problems and painting 
yourself into grossly overcomplicated interpretations that send you down 
spurious paths of troubleshooting.

I think you need to seriously ponder Occam's Razor:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor

If you're running into an unexpected phenomenon, why do you assume it's a bug 
in Kamailio or a "de novo" problem? In fact, a little Googling will reveal that 
double SDP stanzas are a common question.

https://lists.kamailio.org/pipermail/sr-users/2015-August/089538.html

The simplest explanation is almost ALWAYS the correct one. Yes, occasionally it 
is possible to find a true, honest-to-god original bug in the product -- we all 
have. But it is not the explanation you should start with, nor one you should 
readily leap to, because it requires a lot more assumptions, so 
probabilistically, it is almost always the wrong theory. 

Consider it in terms of thermodynamics, mathematics, and the complexity 
introduced by additional moving parts if you like:

If you see an unexplained flash of light, there are numerous possible 
explanations. Some are quite simple: optical-neurological phenomenon, 
reflection from the mirror of a passing car, etc. Some are extremely 
complicated and involve novel, unproven ideas in physics or cosmology.

"Hey, what was that flash of ligth?"

Which should you start with FIRST? Think about it critically ...
