Removing them both would not be desirable in general.

It's not meant to be a "secret" behavior, so people should be able to
rely on this behavior (just like you can rely on add-hook being
idempotent) and use it, in which case emitting a warning is
not appropriate.
This said, maybe we should make it easier to do what you wanted.
E.g. we could probably make it possible to use different `name'
properties to let a user add a function several times (potentially at
different places, but even at the same place).
