I'm afraid that's just how federation works. There's no cycle detection 
as yet.

We have some aspirations to add it, but we're aware that it won't solve 
all message duplication issues anyway (for example a directed graph with 
A->B, A->C, B->D and C->D will duplicate messages even though there's no 
loop).

Having said that, if you want to send messages in one direction through 
the tree you described then you can just make all the links 
unidirectional, there won't then be any loops.

Cheers, Simon
