 * I have never seen this behaviour before and don’t know how it could have created
   the same tag multiple times. When WordPress adds a tag to a post if the tag already
   exists it just updates the count – it doesn’t create a new tag.
 * Are you trying to tag content with UTF-8 characters in it?
 * What does WordPress have as the values in the post_tag manager for these 3 duplicates?
   I know the slugs are different but what are the tag values?
 * I would just delete the extra tags in the post_tag manager in WordPress and ensure
   you are not tagging UTF-8 content.
 * Also once you have enough tags you can turn “auto-discovery” off and just use
   the tags you already have if you want / need to.
 * Can you give me an example post that has generated these duplicates?
