M-x nnmail-split-history RET

[Kai Grossjohann]

Does it output the messages in reverse order, most recently splitted
message first?

Sometimes, I get a new mail and type g and then look at the split
history, and it's got >10 entries.  Can't imagine that I got that many
mails.  Maybe if the mail I got is a duplicate (because I got it twice
or because it's from me and I've already got a Gcc'd copy), Gnus just
silently deletes it and it doesn't show up in the split history at all?

AFAIK, Gnus doesn't delete duplicates. That would be slightly
frightening.

	It doesn't by default, but you can do

(setq nnmail-treat-duplicates  'delete)

which is supposed to delete duplicates, though. OTOH, I've noticed the 
same as Kai, more than one entry for a single mail in the
nnmail-split-history, I've never care too much about it.

See the variable nnmail-treat-duplicates.

Yes, I think so.

Hm.  Could you try to make note of when this happens?
