I think you've been on a bit of a wild goose chase!  I noticed a similar
behaviour with some of my filters, but not with others.  I found the
reason is the filters work slightly differently in different versions of
evolution.

After your 'move' or 'delete' add an extra action called 'stop
processing'.  This way, if there is another filter further down the
line, that won't act on the message as well.  This got rid of my
duplicates...

There is a great discovery still to be made in Literature: that of
paying literary men by the quantity they do NOT write.
