Group assigns multiple same roles to same user

I am not sure if anyone has ran into this before, but I am starting to notice several instances of the same role being assigned to the same user by one single group. And when this happens, we can even run ACL debugging against the form/list, as nothing is displayed, not even the typical "Number of rows removed from this list by Security constraints:"   (see pic)

As well we are starting to notice issues arising from this, ie.   access to time, if the user has more than one assigned role to the same form, then they are not able to see the data in form or even the listing of the data associated to their assignments. (see pic)

This is all it shows on the list view.   There are over 200 records associated to the user and ACL Debugging is turned on.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?   Perhaps something we have done on setup, or omitted to take care of?   We have been running ServiceNow for about 4 years now, are currently on Geneva and upgrading to Istanbul soon.  

Thanks in advance for assistance.

The most common cause is that one rule (e.g. scrum_product_owner for example) includes scrum_user. Add the Inheritance Map and Inheritance count columns to your list.

Click the Inheritance Map link in the list row of your choice and you can get a visualization of the roles and how they got there.

Note, I believe this requires Helsinki or higher (I may be off by a release.)
