I've seen it happen with seals, when we were farming for the Key Item before entering the Cuchu mantle BC. We took it to be sort of an inverse-salvage glitch, where the game thinks we're two parties but we're actually one.

Regardless, I did a shitton of fast merit parties without seeing two seals in the pool at the same time. Some friends used to cast lots on seals in their merit parties to try and get them to drop faster, and it didn't work. If that rule is wrong, it's not far wrong.
