Used to be that way, but we have now several reports of duplicate segments being canceled. Flight firming does seem to prefer canceling unticketed segments over ticketed segments, so, for now, it doesn't seem to harm reservations paid for with miles or money that's not just the Farelock fee.

Yeah, it shouldn't consider them duplicate in this case. Maybe it flags a false positive because it is aware that award reservations can be canceled with little to no penalty, but I would be amazed if the software would be that advanced, not to mention that it is a bad assumption to begin with. Or it is because the reservations are all associated with your account, but that would be a serious bug. We'll probably find out more bit-by-bit as new reports pour in.
