Identical memories showing up multiple times in Photos for iOS 14.3

Hi all, I'm wondering if I am the only one with this issue.

After upgrading to iOS 14 (on 14.3 now and the issue is still there) I see multiple instances of the same "memories" in the Photos app.

For example, "Trip to X", or "My animals" etc appearing several times (even 4 or 5).

These memories contain the same pictures, so it's not like they refer to different events.

Is this a bug? Is it just iOS that duplicates memories if it doesn't have "enough" memories by itself? Anyone else experiencing this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Answering again to my own thread in case anyone has the same question in the future.

I deleted the duplicate memories (For me > Memories > Show all > long press and then "delete"), the phone didn't recreate them, instead created new ones (from different events/days/photos), and the old duplicates didn't come back, so I guess deleting them solved the issue for me.

Just checked again, I now have 7 events of the same day with the same contents... definitely feels like a bug, or at least unnecessary behaviour from the app
