I'm still on 5.2 so this issue may have been fixed in 5.5...we'll see when im able to upgrade. Here's the steps to recreate this bug.

From a brand new project (or an existing one, doesn't really matter) using SI5 text:
1 - go to D-Tools > Project Information.
2 - Select the Component ID Tab
3 - Set the Component Id Format to type:Text, Value:A (or some arbitrary character string), Length:1 (again, arbitrary)
4 - click Save
5 - Make sure the ComponentId Column is displayed in SI Text
6 - Add a product (If its a new project it will give it Component ID A-001)
7 - click the ComponentId Field of the product and Edit the ID to be A-002
8 - right click the product and duplicate one copy of the product.
9 - Behold the duplicate component ID.

see If you could duplicate this in 5.5 as well.
