I dislike this repetition too. There is no need for the same application
icon to be presented twice in the same screen.

One problem with that idea is that the set of applications in the Dash (=
Favorites + other open) is dynamic, so the position of applications in the
application view would change too, breaking the spacial reference.

That could be prevented if only the Favorites were left out of application
picker, while any other app would always appear, but that way the repetition
problem would not be completely solved.

I would propose another idea: hidding the Dash itself. That is the easiest
way to prevent showing the same application icon twice. Just like you said,
if a user opens the application picker, that's because the application the
user is looking for is not in the Dash.

Sure, the presence of the Dash hints at the possibility to drag an
application icon there. But it is also possible to drag an application icon
to an workspace, yet the workspaces sidebar is not shown. In my opinion,
hidding the Dash in the applications view wouldn't hurt, and would free some
horizontal space.

In my opinion, the Dash is useful in the [windows] Overview, but is
distracting elsewhere. That is the reason why it is not shown in the normal
view, but the same could be said about the application picker view (except
for acting as a "hint") and also the search results view ( where it is out
of context, distrating and wasting horizontal space that could be used to
present more results.)
