There is one other difference that I should perhaps point out.  In 
Petri's case the redundant photos were downloaded together - they exist 
on the camera together.  I assume they had different names or they would 
have cause the same problem as in my bug.

In my case, duplicate filenames were created as a result of reformating 
the memory card between shoots on the same day.  The duplicates are not 
on the camera.  In my case I need the downloader to notice that files 
with the same names but different sizes (or checksums) already exist on 
the computer in the destination folder, and do some automatic renaming 
during download.

So despite your optimism I don't believe this patch is not relevant to 
my bug.

Thanks for paying it some attention though :-)
