Hi Jan, I dug into this problem a bit, and it looks like the cause is how equality is determined for GeoPoints. The latitude and longitude is first converted to an hours, minutes, and seconds value, and then compared. This format isn't as accurate as the micro degrees, which is why you are getting an error for values that are very close together. Each second equals about 277 micro degrees, so values that are closer than 277 micro degrees apart may be treated as equal.
This behavior isn't ideal, and I'll work with the core engineering team to address it. In the near term though you should check to ensure that no two values are closer than 277 micro degrees apart.
