Yes, I've seen this happen in the UK. I used subtitle then description 
for everything as soon as it was available (I applied the patch before it 
hit svn).

Within a few weeks I had had two cases where subtitles were duplicated 
when they shouldn't and recordings (the wife's unfortunately) were 
missed. Now I'm more careful to select subtitle then description only 
where needed.

I don't think it should be default, better a duplicate that takes 2 
seconds to delete than lose something you really wanted.

Cheers,

Martin.
