Can you please provide the full spec file. There is a bug in rpm-4.12
wrt %doc that got fixed in 4.13. But the information you provide does
not really match. Are the the files in %{_docdir} listed (implicitly) in
the file section else where? See also
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728959

The bug actually is that all files in %{_docdir} get added if %doc is
used. With the fix all files installed without using %doc need to be
listed in %files. This still all doesn't explain why they are listed
twice unless there are listed elsewhere in your spec.
