Has postfix (or your computer) crashed while processing this message?

I don't know what's causing it, it certainly shouldn't happen. The most
probable cause I can think of is that postfix crashed or was killed in
the middle of moving a mail from one queue to another. 

Stopping postfix and running postsuper -s might help.

You should find out where the second link is. Do something like 

# df /var/spool/postfix/incoming/07F016D4D8
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vgroot-lv_var
                       4128448   1362736   2556000  35% /var
                                                        ^^^^

Note the mountpoint.

# ls -i /var/spool/postfix/incoming/07F016D4D8
295312 /var/spool/postfix/incoming/07F016D4D8
^^^^^^
Note the inode number

find /var -xdev -inum 295312

will then print all the links to that file. Depending  on where the
extra link is it may be save to delete.
