Those aren't duplicates, because they're not attached to the same
lexeme.  The comment is talking about this behavior:

regression=# SELECT 'a:1 a:1'::tsvector;
 tsvector 
----------
 'a':1
(1 row)

regression=# SELECT 'a:1,2,1'::tsvector;
 tsvector 
----------
 'a':1,2
(1 row)

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
