I scratched my head over this one for quite a while, because doing "find
~/.evolution -type f | xargs grep 'Calls and Emails'" was producing no results.
Yet there the task list was, sitting there in front of my eyes. Then the
lightbulb clicked on and I said, "Aha! Gconf!" And sure enough:

rmunn at localhost:~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/tasks/sources
[<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="1121709258.30221.6 at localhost" name="On This Computer"
base_uri="file:///home/rmunn/.evolution/tasks/local" readonly="no"><source
uid="1121709258.30221.7 at localhost" name="Personal" relative_uri="system"
color="becedd"/><source uid="1125307013.10115.17 at localhost" name="@Calls and
Emails" uri="file:///home/rmunn/.evolution/tasks/local" relative_uri=""
color="c6e2b7"/><source uid="1125864110.31698.2 at localhost" name="@Shopping"
relative_uri="" color="fed4d3"/><source uid="1125876722.31698.4 at localhost"
name="One" relative_uri="" color="e2c6e1"/><source
uid="1125876730.31698.5 at localhost" name="Two" relative_uri=""
color="eaeac1"/><source uid="1125876735.31698.6 at localhost" name="Three"
relative_uri="" color="e2c6e1"/></group>
,<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="1121709258.30221.8 at localhost" name="On The Web" base_uri="webcal://"
readonly="no"/>
]

Well, well. Look at all those sources with different names but the same uri! So
I fired up Applications->System->Configuration Editor, and edited that down to:

[<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="1121709258.30221.6 at localhost" name="On This Computer"
base_uri="file:///home/rmunn/.evolution/tasks/local" readonly="no"><source
uid="1121709258.30221.7 at localhost" name="Personal" relative_uri="system"
color="becedd"/></group>
,<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="1121709258.30221.8 at localhost" name="On The Web" base_uri="webcal://"
readonly="no"/>
]

getting rid of the task lists I didn't need (which was all but Personal), and my
duplicate tasks disappeared! Now my gconf looks like:

rmunn at localhost:~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/tasks/sources
[<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="1121709258.30221.6 at localhost" name="On This Computer"
base_uri="file:///home/rmunn/.evolution/tasks/local" readonly="no"><source
uid="1121709258.30221.7 at localhost" name="Personal" relative_uri="system"
color="becedd"/><source uid="1129270802.8102.0 at localhost" name="Foo"
relative_uri="1129270802.8102.0 at localhost" color="00ff00"/><source
uid="1129270829.8102.1 at localhost" name="Bar"
relative_uri="1129270829.8102.1 at localhost" color="e2d4b7"/></group>
,<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="1121709258.30221.8 at localhost" name="On The Web" base_uri="webcal://"
readonly="no"/>
]

Note that the "uri=..." is gone, replaced with "relative_uri", and this time
they're all different.

If anyone's interested in backtracking exactly *when* this bug went away, I hope
this will provide them the clues they need to hunt down exactly which patch made
this bug disappear. As for me, I think this bug can be resolved as INVALID, or
possibly FIXED since it did exist at some point in the past.
