Undoing repeated task completion creates multitudes of repeating tasks

If I complete a Repeating Task⁰ and then undo the completion, it creates a New Repeating Task¹ on the future date, and then actually completing the Repeating Task⁰ will create the future Repeating Task⁰. Undo twice and it creates a New Repeating Task², undo thrice and it creates New Completing Task³, etc. so on the next date I may see Repeating Task⁰ due as well as New Repeating Task¹, New Repeating Task², etc.
And then if I don't delete the extras with correct options, I believe based on past experiences, that in two weeks I believe I will see Repeating Task⁰, New Repeating Task¹, New Repeating Task² all due again.
So for practical example from today, Monday, December 8:
° I completed weekly task of 'Bring in Trash Cans',
° and then I Undid the completion.
° I then completed the weekly task 'Bring in Trash Cans' again
+ I now have two 'Bring in Trash Cans' tasks due next Monday, December 15th.
° Experimentally, I undid the 'Bring in Trash Cans' task completion today
° and then completed the weekly task 'Bring in Trash Cans' again
+ I now have three 'Bring in Trash Cans' tasks due Monday, December 15th.
+ Each new 'Bring in Trash Cans' task is scheduled to repeat weekly
° I delete all the extra 'Bring in Trash Cans' tasks due Monday, December 15th.
~ (but depending on which options I choose while deleting those extra tasks...)
» Fast forward to Monday, December 22nd: I expect to see extra repeating tasks again. And this would continue every Monday until I delete them using the right options.

Thanks for the report! Good find. You've got a busy week ahead emptying the trash cans, I'll try to get a fix in to save you the trouble.
