Like BL1KITW I have also seen the message that will not let you put two identical flights on hold, it appears with the last redesign that this FEATURE was disabled. Nice to know that we can go ahead and make duplicate holds now.
BTW I just tested it and can confirm you can hold two identical reservations.
This could be handy if you need to force a ticket purchase into a higher fare class for a certain promotion.
