Hello Paul, If I am not wrong, the DUEDGST (and DUE) is used when you set advanced notices to 0 day, otherwise it's PREDUEDGST (and PREDUE).
To loop on items, you should use the <item> tag. The default messaging preferences will only affect new patrons. But you can use misc/maintenance/borrowers-force-messaging-defaults to update existing ones. Could you please open a new bug [1] and detail how you recreate the duplicated notification?
