Yes, the VHF program does the same thing, IE it will not allow you to 
log a dupe.  If you are using the logging program in post contest mode, 
the dupes occurred days prior to you entering the QSOs.  Since the dupe 
occurred, it should be logged.  It's possible the other station entered 
your call wrong during the previous contact.  If you don't log the 
second one, he would get a "not in log" during log checking.  Now as far 
as I know, ARRL is not currently doing log checking of VHF contest like 
they do for HF so it's not a big deal.  If they ever do start computer 
log checking, it becomes a bigger problem.

I did express my concern to Scott several years ago.
