I've found a number of POSTed status updates returning an error saying it was a duplicate message, however:
1) It is not a duplicate. there is a common piece of text at the end which has 3 small words and a hashtag that does repeat, but the body of the update is unique. 2) The message gets published, even though an error is returned. This seems like a bug and I can provide more info if you need.
