Yep.  I also have 2 x COM2 ports listed as well (come to think of it, I
suspect I have 2x COM1s as well).  This appeared to happen when I changed
motherboards recently, but as these ports currently work OK, I've basically
ignored them.  It certainly doesn't appear to be a destructive bug at this
stage, but I have been keeping my eye on it just in case.

And no, I have absolutely no idea how to solve this "problem", either...
