Catching duplicates doesn't and shouldn't have anything to do with ticket issuance–it's about holding the space, not about tickets you may or may not have for reserved space. Think about a situation where a corporate travel agent is allowed to hold space indefinitely without ticketing; you still wouldn't be allowed to hold conflicting reservations.
Have had PNR on conflicting AA flights before. It does get caught eventually. However it certainly doesn't prevent a second PNR.
