Comment:

 Probably not.  We consider two nodes to be different if they have
 different keys, and the same otherwise.  Apparently a majority of
 authorities voted in favor of both of these identities, which is possible
 if they're both around at slightly different times.  As long as they don't
 stay up longterm or get assigned any important flags, it's not going to
 hurt anything.
