Topics are canned catalog searches.

A catalog search should only return duplicates when
the object is catalogued with two different "uid"s.

When you do not specify the "uid", the object's physical
path is used.

Can you check whether you object is indexed twice in the
catalog (you would use the "getPath" method on the respective "brain"
objects).
