Funny enough, I had this same issue today within Queue(). I'm using 
queue_member in extconfig.conf (realtime members) which delivers calls 
to a Local channel which then finds the physical location in the cluster 
and delivers the call there. The problem I was having was that when the 
Local channel would be ringing a device, the device status was set to 
(Unknown), which would cause that same device to be called multiple 
times when there were multiple people waiting in the Queue().

Once the call was answered the status changed to In Use, and then 
everything worked as expected. I had a patch made that caused Queue() to 
not deliver calls to members with a status of Unknown -or- In Use, and 
that solved my problem for now, but not entirely sure what issues I'll 
run into in the future because of it :)
