I got this too.  It's ok for the buddy list to duplicate, but surely 
both instances of the buddy shouldn't appear as online?!  The intuitive 
thing for me was to remove the one, and I ended up remove my buddy 
totally.  After a few days I noticed that many of my contacts had just 
disappeared, but in fact it was because I "removed" them.  Pretty confusing.

To be honest, the buddy list issue is much more important to me than 
smileys.
