I was also seeing duplicates in my small (1000 non-stubs) MW 1.18.2. I believe
at least some of the duplicates are coming because the category browser drops
the bottom level category off some entries. I've documented this behavior at
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Categories&stable=0&shownotice=1&fromsection=Adding_a_page_to_a_category#Adding_a_page_to_a_category
and I repeat it here:
(At least in MediaWiki 1.18.2) if a category is a subcategory of more than one
parent, both hierarchies will be listed, but the tagged category will be
stripped off all but one of these. This creates the potential for what appear
to be duplicate entries if a category with multiple parents and one of its
parents are both tagged on a page. For example suppose Maryanne is a
subcategory of both Mary and Anne. If a page tags categories Maryanne and Anne
then the Category breadcrumbs will show
Anne
Anne
Mary -> Maryanne
"Anne" appears to be duplicated, but what is meant is
Anne
Anne -> Maryanne
Mary -> Maryanne
