So yes, maybe they are not allowed in kepubs, even if kepubs are supposed to be better than epubs. Who knows.
Actually, there is https://github.com/kobolabs/epub-spec. It is as much a user guide for people submitting books as a spec, but it does have some details. The TOC section says that they will generate a TOC entry for any spine entry that is not in the TOC.ncx. As they do that, it doesn't surprise me that they would eliminate duplicate TOC entries.

I am with the others and feel it is an error in the book if there are two TOC entries pointing to the same place. I can't see the point. I do have books with multiple TOC entries pointing to the same page. These are for things like "Part I" followed immediately by "Chapter 1". They open the book to the same page, but are using different anchors.
