The longer explanation:

You get the "3 identical points in Qtest" message when the distance 
between mesh vertices in parameter space, multiplied by the random 
perturbation factor (1e-9 by default) approaches machine accuracy. (In 
your case, the distance between mesh vertices in parameter space is 
about 0.1/1000 = 1e-4.)

Solution: increase the random perturbation factor ("-rand 1e-8" on the 
command line, or "Mesh.RandomFactor=1.e-8;" in a script), or generate a 
coarser grid.
