I'm pretty sure that between 8.0.1 and 8.0.17 there are a couple of bugfixes
related to duplicate rows with pk scenarios, you should probably take some
time to upgrade before you spend too much time digging into this (make sure
to read all of the release notes for those versions in between, i'm also
thinking there are some special instructions that might need to be done
somewhere in there)
