After reading Peter's reply I think I misunderstood part of your question. I had a problem with C-h i showing certain headings multiple times. This was more than a year ago and I even sent a bug report about it. I rebuild from CVS regularly and the problem dissappeared without ever being isolated. Since nobody else seemed to be affected I always assumed it was something local to my machine and caused by something wrong during the build process. I'll be curious if you find the answer.
