at the end of the log file:

{f:\minimal\tex\texmf-local/pdftex/config/context/original-vogel-symbol.map
Warning: pdfetex.exe (file f:\minimal\tex\texmf-local/pdftex/config/context/ori
ginal-vogel-symbol.map): entry for `fmvr8x' already exists, duplicates ignored
}

so, there is at least a test for duplicates (actually dups should overload 
previous ones)
