Maybe you can debug by triggering the pr_debug () to show what libdwfl returned
and compare it with how perf then prints out the struct ui that should hold the
same addresses to know which part of the code the duplicated address comes
from.

eu-readelf --debug-dump=frame /usr/local/bin/Application
and look for the program covering initial_location and address range that
covers the address.
