It is.

It shows first repeat. I assume you tested that yesterday, so you got
the repeat for today. Since the repeat didn't trigger "today" (which is
actually yesterday), it also displays a reminder for the scheduled item
there.

So, you have "72x" on "today" and a new repeat on the next day.

It is, per 1-year old commit (3072cb28e8627066f465f1a4af85da88135d0549).
Details are given here:

It's difficult to solve both problems. In any case, this will not happen
in Org 9.0.

I think the main problem is that you put too many things behind
`org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. Its name is misleading.
I think we need a new variable, or to change this one, to have both
behaviours possible. Suggestions (and docstrings) are welcome, we can
implement them in master branch.
