I see the same problem.  Only agentized servers seem to get
duplicated.  Here's how I can reproduce this: start gnus-unplugged, `J
j' and `J s' and then open the server buffer.  My guess is, that
somehow Gnus-agent gets confused while opening servers:

Right after start in unplugged mode:

|   ok)

|  ((nnml "")
|   ok)
|  ((nntp "news.cis.dfn.de" (nntp-address "localhost") (nntp-port-number 5000))
|   ok))nil
`----

The servers nntp:news.gmane.org, nntp:news.cis.dfn.de and
nnimap:webmail.macnews.de are covered by Gnus-Agent.

Now, `J j' and `J s' to fetch mail and news, and after that:

,----
| (cl-prettyprint gnus-opened-servers)
| 
| (((nntp "news.gmane.org")
|   ok)
|  ((nntp "news.cis.dfn.de")
|   ok)

| 	    (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil))
|   ok)
|  ((nnfolder "spam"

| 	    (nnfolder-active-file "~/more-mail/spam/active")
| 	    (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil))
|   ok)
|  ((nnfolder "archive"
| 	    (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
| 	    (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
| 	    (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
| 	    (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))
|   ok)

| 	  (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "Junk"

| 				"archive/*"))
| 	  (nnimap-stream ssl))
|   ok)

|   ok)
|  ((nnfolder "")

|  ((nnml "")
|   ok)
|  ((nntp "news.cis.dfn.de" (nntp-address "localhost") (nntp-port-number 5000))
|   ok))nil
`----

This is my server setup:

,----
| gnus-select-method
| (nntp "news.cis.dfn.de" (nntp-address "localhost") (nntp-port-number 5000))
| 
| (cl-prettyprint gnus-secondary-select-methods)
| 
| ((nnml "")
|  (nnfolder "")
|  (nntp "news.gmane.org" (nntp-address "localhost") (nntp-port-number 5001))
|  (nnimap "webmail.macnews.de"
| 	 (nnimap-address "localhost")
| 	 (nnimap-server-port 5002)
| 	 (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "Junk"
| 			       "misc*"
| 			       "macnews/*"
| 			       "archive/*"))
| 	 (nnimap-stream ssl)))nil
