But the interesting thing is that even though it flagged as an error, those rows of inserts still made to the table with the correct bug_id. So I'm not too worried about it right now.

OK, what probably happened was that the data was loaded okay and then
you got these errors from the commands that attempted to create unique
indexes. So aside from the problem that your data is inconsistent,
you now also lack indexes. You probably ought to see about fixing
the duplications so that you can establish the indexes.
