I cannot think of any. It should also not make any sense for the same 
way to be in different roles in a multipolygon relation.

(In a route relation, you could have the same way twice, in role=forward 
and role=backward. You might even have a way multiple times, if the 
route is visiting points A, B, A, C, A.)

The JOSM relation editor is highlighting duplicate relation members. I 
think that it would be good to issue a log message for the duplicate 
multipolygon members, so that the data can be corrected (simplified).
