Comment (by redsweater):

 For completeness, I neglected to include steps to reproduce the bug:

 1. Create a new post from a XMLRPC client such as the WordPress for iOS
 app or MarsEdit.
 2. Include in the post some reference to an enclosure-style media asset
 such as an MP3. E.g.:

 {{{
 <a href="http://www.coreint.org/audio/CoreInt_72.mp3">Download</a>
 }}}

 3. Send the post to the blog.
 4. Observe that the post has automatically earned itself an enclosure and
 the custom field entry that goes with that.
 5. Open and make whatever basic edit to the post, and send to the blog
 again.
 6. Observe that it now has an extra custom field metadata entry for the
 same enclosure.

 This will happen again and again now matter how many edits you make. So it
 can become quite egregious depending on the frequency of editing a
 particular post.
