That is possible, but I've personally received duplicate messages from the
mailing list and a local copy, and having nongnu.org delete a message it
thinks is duplicate strikes me as broken as well.  Would be interesting
if we could see what happened on the gmail side.

Wait, when was that decided?  I looked at RFC 4291 and it's updates and
I didn't see that mentioned.
