Well, this of course all could be coincidence, but they did say that some packs in the first print run were missing their rares ... so maybe there was a sorting problem overall?
I'm betting on coincidence. Across the 13 packs of my kit and prize pool, I opened 3 pairs of rares. Two Ghirapur Orrery, two Midnight Oil and 2 Kambal, Consul of Allocation. Just bad luck. I didn't get any dupes within my kit (one Orrery and one Oil in kit, one of each and the two Kambals in consecutive packs in my prizes).
I just think the kit contents rares are, effectively, random (as are Fat Packs). They're not so deliberately sequenced as a booster box is to avoid duplication.
I haven't gotten duplicate rares in a pre-re kit since Return to Ravnica, when I got 2 Counterflux in my first two (regular unseeded) boosters.
I did face an opponent in Oath pre-re who had two Fathom Feeders. Both of his BfZ packs had that as the rare.

A friend opened 2 pre release promos in his box, other than That i didn't see much. But i saw the pulls of 2 relative small stores and they have the same MR pulled from diferent pre release packs in one: Chandra, MR Vehicle, One of the Gear Hulks ( same colors), and MR UG legendary , Energy generation artifact, there was one UR walker in this one; the other had Dovin Bann, Red Gearhulk, Nissa, Green Gearhulk, Demon. And in a relative big store there was more cases of this double MR showing up in diferent packs. Maybe the packs where "less random" maybe they got the packs out of the print run selecting packs from similar "twin" prints of MR and rares, or maybe it was random
Only for the green gearhulk was the copy the promo. I think I overheard someone with a double dual land. It really felt strange, especially getting double mythics. (And, icing on the cake, the guy with double noxious also had crucible of worlds. And he's the guy who opened 5 avacyn during drafts over the few months of shadow over innistrad...)
I didn't have this problem/good luck. At one point I faced off against a guy with double Oviya Pashiri, Sage Lifecrafter, which won him the game. One was promo, though.
I had double Permeating Mass at EMN prerelease but again, one was promo.

Most players seem to have opened the same rare twice. Did anyone else get that? I wonder if it's the pre-release boxes or kaladeh's print run.
It could be worse- I opened 2x Ghirapur Orrery in my prerelease pool
Reprint Stasis!
Control needs more love.
