I've come across the same problem quite a while ago. It is indeed caused 
by a content element that has limited access set to it.
In such cases more than one version of the document (each with different 
fe_groups or virtual groups) is indexed by solr. Both documents will 
show up in the results (they are different documents for solr).

It was reported to Ingo and also investigated a bit by him, but if I 
remember correctly it didn't have much priority.
A solution could be that solr would be told somehow to only produce 
results with unique URLs. There seem to be possibilities in solr to do 
that, but I haven't looked into them.
