Ooookkkkay. After some research I finally got to the bottom of this.

It turns out the only entries being duplicated fell into the category of:
- had a first name but no last name
- Appeared on the phone with the names reversed to the entry on the palm
(instead of just appearing in both forms, one of the forms would receive an
additional copy each time)

Once I added a last name of "??" to the 8 entries that had no last name, and
got rid of the "almost the same name" on the phone, and then cleared all the
duplicates, I now appear to be able to sync without duplicates.
