System information (as much as possible)

Additional comments
I have seen this issue on at least one additional site. Removing the duplicate (and unused) entries seems to have no negative impact.

I'm really sorry, that we didn't find another fix for this. Since this is fixed by re-indexing and it has been 2 years since you reported this, I'm hoping that everyone affected by this solved this in the meantime. Introducing something right now wouldn't really help now. So I'm closing this.
Additional Comment:
After clearing the index and re-indexing, the result seems to be okay again. Content Maps look as expected.
