Why should setup be any different from other applications?
Can anyone quote any existing single-clickable UI components that
de-duplicate double clicks?

The first ones that come to mind are pretty obvious:
Windows desktop icons (since they went to default "hover == select, single
click==open)
model. Hyperlinks in IE and firefox.
In any case. I didn't say that setup should behave that way or that I
agreed
with the argument, I said it was a reasonable argument to have and someone
should
consider working on a patch if they want it that way.
