It looks like the duplicate person email first sent an email citing 2 Person records for the same person, then sent out another email citing 3 Person records but two in the list were the same object.

A new Person and/or Alias object was just created for Axel Nennker.

There are now 3 Person objects sharing that name.

Please check to see if they represent the same actual person, and if so, merge the objects as appropriate.

The issue here was the creation of an Alias name that already existed. (Two separate Alias objects with the same name pointing at the same Person). Some bit of code created that second alias when it shouldn't have. The code sending this mail, though, should use .distinct() to avoid the extra noise.
