Comment(by isaacdupree):

 Probably iff the name isn't mentioned explicitly at all, only through
 module re-exports, then there shouldn't be a warning here.

 If you said (..., module Data.List, module Data.List) then there could
 still sensibly be a warning for saying you're exporting the same
 ''module'' twice (which exists: "{{{Warning: Duplicate `Module Data.List'
 in export list}}}" and which already skips the individual duplicate
 warnings in this case).
