When fixing a duplicated node, we delete the superfluous nodes.  If we don't
replace all occurencies in a way, we leave behind references to deleted nodes,
thus rendering the data set inconsistent.

Same when deleting a node.  If you only replace one occurence, then the other
will point to a deleted node.
