no, what happens for me is: the one from slug goes to my slug
mailbox, ones sent directly to me go to my inbox.  There's no
duplicates and no lost email.  The only hassle is you get some
slug email in your inbox - but only ones sent directly to you
(which makes sense).

my procmailrc, remove duplicates first then:
:0:
* ^(From|Sender):.*slug
$MAILDIR/slug
