resolved - it would appear that MySQL treats an int of 0 = NULL. , so my first fixture (the root of the tree) which had an id of 0 in the fixtures file, was being taken as NULL (stated as not allowed in the table definition), so set to id=1 by MySQL, then causing the 2nd fixture (id=1 in the fixtures file) to appear as a duplicate.
