In the messages files we have some duplicate messages being: 'login' => 'Log in', 'nav-login-createaccount' => 'Log in / create account', 'userlogin' => 'Log in / create account', 'userloginnocreate' => 'Log in', It is possible that one pair of these could be removed. I do not know what files use them and where.
Not so fast, these messages could be different in other locales, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:MaxSem/21997 for example (click on language codes).

I have created this bug should it be necessary to remove duplicate messages, and if it is possible to.
Looks like in some locales the messages a different. So it is not something that can be changed.
We should not use the same message in different places imho. (For example in the heading and on a button)
Duplication in L10n is a good thing. Not a bug/won't fix is the correct resolution.
