When you marked it as the Inbox, an entry for that mailbox was added to 
~/.gnome/balsa. When you changed back to another mailbox as Inbox, that 
entry remained. Now, when you start Balsa, the entry triggers one line 
in the display, and the presence of the file in the local folder tree 
triggers another. Try doing it a few times, and see the duplicates 
build up!

I believe the solution is to (delicately!) identify which line 
corresponds to the unwanted ~/.gnome/balsa entry, and delete it.
