BibDesk is very much on-topic for this list, or at least it used to be  
(it's at least Mac-specific, unlike a lot of the traffic here these  
days).

This is normal for (some?) BibTeX styles, I believe; you get a  
separate citation for the parent and child reference(s).  Have you  
tried changing the style in BibDesk's Preview preferences?

BibDesk does handle the crossref field correctly, as far as we (its  
developers) know.  If you can describe exactly what you expect it to  
do, answering your question will be easier.
