7 months ago @cagrimmett -- thanks for this report. ;-)
They are distinct subscriptions, by design. The ones that are from a reading list should appear in green type, and if you hover over the info icon (rightmost column) it should say so in the popup window.
I don't think you'll see multiple versions of the same post in timelines because there is a specific protection against showing an item more than once, there are other ways it can happen.
I don't think there's any need to show the user's name multiple times in the subscriber list in the feed info page for the feed.

The past week I've noted a number of duplicate subscriptions in my feed list. Examples:
As such, these feeds show up multiple times in my feed list. I need to watch for one of them to post to see if the posts shows multiple times in my River.
It looks like this has something to do with Reading Lists. I don't think it is a bug per se, just an unintended consequence. Still, seeing the same feed listed multiple times, or seeing your own username listed multiple times on the subscription page, feel wrong. We should have some kind of duplicate checking on subscribing and in list views.
