I may have just overlooked it, but is the feature that lets you know you have cards in another proposal still in place? I haven't seen it on my proposals but I just doubled up on 4 or more cards in some recent trades.

I believe it only works on offers you're initiating or countering (from your end), so when you receive an offer whether it's an initial or counter it won't warn you.

That may have been the issue. Luckily I PC two of the 4 players I doubled up on, so I have one for the Set and another.

I have had the same thing happen to me more frequently than ever before. How could a card be offered to me again if it was already accepted in another trade? If I had several trades pending, I always cross-checked them to make sure this wasn't happening. Yet I would end up receiving 2 copies of common cards. I thought about why for a long time and finally, I think I came up with the reason. Some members initiate a trade then leave it in their "Composing" box to continue building it up withmore cards.  This can go on for quite some time if the trade # is any indication. When they finally decide to send the proposal, you may have had more trades since they started their offer which also offered you cards that the initial member planned to offer.  They would get no indication that you no longer need the card; you would get no indication that you no longer wanted the card.

Lesson: if you get a proposal with a Trade # well below the current trade #, check to see if you need all the cards being offered. An easy way to do this is to open the trade in two windows and Counter / Remove all cards being offered / View all matches / and then by going back and forth between windows, re-add all the cards that was in the initial offer.  Any card no longer on your want list will not be in the matches.

I am going to be watching. I know I caught myself doubling up just as you stated by checking myself. I wondered at that time why I didn't have an alert at the top. I have been trading a lot lately and think I should have seen the alert at one time before doubling up on 5 cards.
