Infinite Housing Item Glitch!?

Okay, fairly standard practice by now: You go to your house, place an item down ( in my case the Archer Rack from the Sinbad gauntlet ), item gets removed from the list of items you can place at the bottom of the scree-- wait, why's it still there? I just put it down, what's going on?

I go to place it down again, putting 2 of them right next to each other, and that one Archer Rack is still there. WHAT!?

I try this with several other housing items I got from Sinbad: The Blue Vase, the Desert Forge, the Glass of Hours, to name a few. All are doing the same thing. HUH!?

So finally I get the idea to check my backpack. Even though I had just put that Archer Rack down, it was still in there, as if I'd somehow duplicated it. So I feed the original one to my pet to get it out of my bag, and everything goes back to normal. I make sure to pick up and feed the duplicated one to my pet for good measure.

I don't know how I did it, but I somehow triggered some kind of glitch that lets you duplicate housing items by simply placing them down. Thankfully I was able to find a way to get myself out of this glitchy state, but this one is a real head-scratcher to be sure. Not to mention if anyone actually figures out how to trigger it, mass duplication's of permanent mounts, Kroger pet jewels, endgame gear items, treasure cards, and various other high value items await, and that could ruin the game's entire economy, all thanks to things like jewel vaults, treasure card frames and mannequin's.

I don't know how, but somehow we gotta figure out how this happened and figure out a way to fix it, and fast!
