No, the card wasn't removed/inserted at runtime; it was there at boot and stayed there.
The most reliable way to reproduce this issue is to go through QA's sanity test plan in order. By the time the mtp step is reached, it usually has devolved far enough to have several copies of the SD device. In the logs I'm attaching, it was shortly after boot so there were only two copies. I connected, selected one of the two SD devices, listed the contents of the root dir, then disconnected. The relevant bits start at 01:42:59 in the log, and go to the end. I think it's a phone-side bug, in part because the behavior depends on how long the device has been in use that boot, and in part because I see two copies of a file listed in the log under different object IDs.

If I connect to that device and list its contents, each file and directory is listed several times too. The exact number is consistent during a session, but varies per boot. If I then add a new file, disconnect, and reconnect, that file is listed just once while everything else is listed several times. The mtp client I'm using to test this is gmtp. Results may appear different with Nautilus, because I think it ignores duplicates. Screenshots demonstrating what I see are attached. This issue isn't new, but it seems to happen every time now instead of just once in a while.
