Duplicate app icons with macOS 15.1

I've noticed that on my M1 iMac, since upgrading to macOS 15.1 (24B83), I'm getting duplicate icons in my Applications folder on the dock. If I change the ordering from sorting by Name to Date Added it fixed it and remains fixed when I change back to Name. The problem is that after rebooting the same issue comes up. See below:

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
