If it says "Clone of", Walt, you must be using the Node clone module (which I happen to use frequently, and as I recall, it simply makes another node).

So I would say that views is answering logically, it is finding three nodes and saying it found three nodes.

Of course, if this is not the case, disregard.

Experiment number one. There were three copies of one entry so I decide to
clone that entry so as to not lose the data and then delete the original.
Doing so created three copies called Clone of ... and deleting the original
got rid of all three. Next step is create a new entry and copy the fields
from the clone into it. When that is submitted, I now have two copies (one
less than before). What is going on?

Pathauto is turned on in case that has something to do with the problem.
There is only one entry in the alias table.

There's no way to answer this question without knowing every field, filter, sort criteria and argument in your query.

It's really really easy to produce 'dups' in SQL and thus in Views; many things could be doing it. Often it's taxonomy related, but any field that can have multiple values can easily do it if not configured appropriately.

I should amend: It's highly unlikely that the data structures are messed up.
