What system are you on
What version of uniq
What is the input exactly
I suspect your locale is equating roman numerals (though that is surprising),
but I can't reproduce with the following on coreutils-8.10-2.fc15.x86_64 at

locale -a | while read locale; do
LC_ALL=$locale uniq -dc t.in
done | grep -v " *2"
