I reproduce this with the same backtrace. Confirming.

Simple duplicated finder shows several similar backtraces.

> Simple duplicated finder shows several similar backtraces.

The simple-dup-finder is kinda stupid about picking function names to match against; in this case, it does really poorly.  Try searching on just one of the evo function names, e.g.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=org_gnome_default_mailer_check_default 
and you'll see it's unique.  :)
