Rob, you don't say whether this was the first frame of the film or not, but is it possible the film was snagging somewhere during transport and it's "jumped" , or flattened out, as the mirror goes up? It seems that the double exposure has happened after the first shutter blind has fully opened (the blinds travel right to left in the LX, don't they?), and before the second blind has fully closed. I think I'd be looking at potential snags on the film rollers and the pressure plate, and it's springs for weakness.
