Here's a thread on oddities -- sets which "break the rules":

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/fullthread.cgi?lugnet.admin.database:98


The duplicates are never in
production at the same time, so they are a few years apart at the least.
[...]

Not always, unfortunately.  Some notable counter-examples are:

8205 Bungee Chopper
    Has two instructions booklets labeled "8205-1" and "8205-2"; each of
    these has a separate unique 7-digit LEGO part number.

1974 Bonus Pack
    3-set value pack with regular outer packaging (box) and 3 sub-sets
    packaged separately in holey plastic bags, and all with unique and
    official names, but all numbered "1974".

6426 Super Cycle Center
    5-set not-value-pack with regular outer packaging (box) and 5 sub-set
    polybags each numbered "6426" on their respective instructions, but
    1/5, 2/5, etc. on the polybags, e.g. "4115495-2/5" and "4115474   2/5".

7171 Mos Espa Podrace™
    3-set not-value-pack with regular outer packaging (box) and 3 sub-set
    boxes each numbered "7171" on their respective boxes, but sharing a
    single building instruction booklet.
