It seems like a bug to me, in that the effort summary for the day will be wrong.

I think this will be quite complicated to fix. There are multiple reasons an
item can appear in the agenda: active timestamps, deadlines, scheduling, and in
log mode clocked time and inactive timestamps, so any solution would need to
handle all of those. As far as column view is concerned each line in the agenda
is a different item.
If we attach a property to each line in the agenda indicating where it came from
(using org ids or similar), the summary calculation code for the agenda could
skip entries it had already seen, though I'm not sure it's the right thing to do
for all summary types.
