If I load the same image into multiple file fields, deduplication will save only one file on my local server and make all file fields reference it. This is to be expected. On cron run, file field images are propagated to amazon s3 and removed from the local server. Of the deduplicated file fields, only the first will point to the s3 file, the rest of the file fields will point to the deleted local images.

I can verify this w/ reapeatbale Field Collections that contain file fields.
The first image is uploaded and its URL reference changed, if there are duplicate images they will not have their URL reference updated.
