This is not a defect but a feature request. In the first versions of Slimbox,
duplicates were removed. Then people complained so I changed it so that images 
are
just kept untouched which I think is the expected behavior.

It's your responsibility to filter out the duplicates first. For example, 
create a
group containing all the images that you want, in the order that you want. If 
you
want to create an additional link to an already linked image, you can add a 
snippet
of javascript code that will mimic a click on the first link when clicking on 
the
second one, like this:

jQuery(function($) {
   $("#secondlink").click(function() {
      $("#firstlink").click();
      return false;
   });
});

You can also open the box directly using the Slimbox API, or define a linkMapper
function which removes specific elements from the group that you know are 
duplicates.
