If the page is in the middle of updating itself AND you happen to a send a message during this half a second interval, your message will show up twice. Fortunately it is only stored in the database once, and only you will see the duplicate message.

I'm working on a fix. Marking this as a normal priority bug since it's mostly just annoying. I'm also posting this up here so everyone is aware that I know about this bug.

This should be solved with a re-write of the implementation of Ajax to use JSON to pass messages back from the server, which allows an easy way to index those messages by their timestamp, and therefore keep track of which messages have already been received by the browser, which looks like it prevents duplicate messages.

It does make it more difficult to theme the messages though, you'll probably have to hack the code to do anything more complicated with it.
