On my site Hpathy.com, I have found that at times groups get listed in twice. I am adding a screenshot for that. They appear twice or thrice in group directory and also in the sidebar group widget. It doesn't happen always but it does happen many times.
Also I have cheked that underlying there is only one group as the same activity reflect in all such groups and you delete one and all two-three listings disappear.

First off, are you using the default BuddyPress theme? If not, revert to that and see if you still get the issue.
If you do, de-activate plugins one-by-one to see if any of them are causing the issue.
Failing that, it might be a bug with BuddyPress itself in which case you'd need to report it to the BuddyPress team so they can test and get a fix sorted.
I am not sure what exactly causes the problem but I have found out what is happening on the db side.
The groupsmeta table gets 3 identical entries for the last group activity. If I delete the two extra entries, the groups get listed once only.
What is confusing though is that this does not happen every time for every new group. It'll happen sometimes and it won't at other times. Which makes pinning the problem in code difficult.
Hpathy, I am having the same problem. When you delete the extra entries in the groupsmeta table does the duplication still happen within the same group?

No. once you delete the duplicate meta entries, the groups are not listed twice.

I have a feeling this problem could have been caused from my cache plugins.?
