Sigh.
It is the same message, addressed To/Cc: you and/or the list, no matter which
one is delivered first. So just put all list(+private) filtering before
personal filtering.
E.g.,
# filter duplicate-message delivery; see procmailex
# "The more you know."
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
