The dupe detector is left porous on purpose to allow good stories multiple cracks at the bat. A small number of reposts is ok.
It's true that who ends up getting the karma on a multiply-posted story is just a roll of the dice. On the other hand, you can stack your long-run odds as high as you want by submitting more and better stories. So it tends to even out in the end.
