What's going on here? I swear I read a few days ago the exact same comments that were apparently posted here a few minutes ago. Is there some kind of strange duplication going on?

Apparently HN also rewrites comment timestamps, but can't find the relevant post.
It does. It also has a rare race condition you can occasionally notice, where the fake-timestamp of the parent comment is in the future of that of the child comments.
