No, I don't think you are causing a problem. ;-)

The way I see it, AB and group templates don't work if the same email
address is contained more than once in the AB. So, if you use
different email addresses, no harm will be caused.

However, new AB entries are are automatically created by filters based
on the display name (according to Daniel, I haven't tested it) instead
of the email address. So, different entries with the same email
address are created. This causes problems.

IMHO this discrepancy is a little bug. TB should use the *same*
argument (and I vote for email address rather than display name) for
creating new entries via the filtering system *and* when using
templates.

Just my 0.02 � worth.
