Sure go ahead. The cause of this effect are simply two frags in a row with
identical properties. I guess we could be aggressive about merging runs in
the piecetable but it's not a performance I think. The main problem are
these extra tags in the abw file. If they're removed the next time the doc
is imported we'll get one frag again.
