Comment:

 Im having the same problem, and a search online shows many others are as
 well. There doesnt seem to be a solution though.

 A use case for something like this could be, looping through an web
 service data source (eg tumblr/twitter/fb/etc) and inserting that as posts
 into WP. This script is executed via a server cron (not WP cron). Each
 loop iteration should add 1 post, but in fact it adds multiple entries of
 the same post.


 This has to be a bug.
