  This usually happens when you insert it as well. Just do nothing other than upload it and select it as Featured Image. Then it should only appear once, unless there’s a bug in the theme.

  You are using the Gallery feature on that Page and any image you upload to that Page will be included in the Gallery, unless you use “excludes” so it doesn’t appear in the Gallery. Once you exclude the image from the Gallery, you can select it as the Featured Image and it will appear as a header on the Page.

  Using excludes in a Gallery is explained here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/#gallery-shortcode and a demo showing this here http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/gallery-with-excluded-image/
