Too many Shogs when viewing the close reason in the iOS app

Question

This question appears to have been closed by three Shogs:

Does this happen when a mod closes a question as a dupe of multiple questions?

Not sockpuppets. I voted for that post three times using one account, carefully triggering a server error half-way through the processing of the first two votes so as to add multiple duplicate links. Hopefully, we'll have a better process for that at some point in the future. — Shog9, Jan 6, 2017 at 1:59
I'll leave answering for Brian and Kasra, since Marc helpfully fixed the display in these cases for web years ago. — Shog9, Jan 6, 2017 at 2:01

All three votes show up in the API: api.stackexchange.com/docs/… and we're reflecting that back. Guess it should be fixed there. — Brian Nickel, Jan 6, 2017 at 19:48
There's a check that prevents ordinary users from casting multiple close votes on a given post, @Magisch; this only works because moderators are exempt from that check. Up/down votes are a completely different path. — Shog9, Jan 9, 2017 at 20:08

This will be fixed in the next API build. (Monday?)

We were missing a .Distinct() call.

And here I was thinking there was an easteregg where one can unlock additional shogs :(
