No, it can't happen. That's the reason why, if the document already contains
existing annotations, Okular won't save annotation changes internally and will
ask you to explicitly save changes to PDF on close. In other words, either all
annotations are saved in okular's local data directory, or all annotations are
saved in the PDF file.
Actually, encrypted PDFs are an exception to this rule: since they cannot be
modified by Poppler at the moment (Save As is grayed out), you can't edit
existing annotations in such files. New annotations are always saved in
okular's local data directory and, yes, in this case you'll see both embedded
and local annotations in the same document. But you can distinguish them: the
embedded ones are read-only.

It's obviously a useful feature. Please open a new wish for it.

I'm closing this bug because:
 - for unencrypted PDF files: Since 4.9, there is support for storing
annotations in the PDF itself.
 - for other file types: There's the .okular format (see comment #56) to store
the document and the annotations in the same file.

Please open separate bugs about the missing annotation saving features you
(don't) find :)
Thanks to all of you for caring about Okular
