This is a bug. I had no idea. Although I regret we ever started using dynamic tags for non-dynamic formats - it should be the other way round. It happened when we had a 'thin' raw-md5 for a while.
The easiest fix is to switch to $dynamic_0$ in the OpenCL format. Though I'd rather switch to $MD5$ in the others. We could even make the formats understand both but produce any new lines with $MD5$... although such things tend to get messy. And the dynamic format would need to be fixed by Jim, whom I haven't heard from in quite a while now.
Regardless, we could include a script that converts a user's old .pot file after he upgraded, and remove any dupes while at it. Of course, renaming the old one unaltered to john.pot.bak.
