It usually means that either the title was lost or maybe the car was in a flood and needed a new title. I'd dig around a little more before I invest money in the car. Speak to the DMV in your area for more information.
That shouldn't raise any flags for you. Many people lose their title and when they go to trade the car, apply for a new one. It is very common and nothing at all to worry about.
A duplicate title simply means that the original was lost, that's all. If a salvage title was "washed" through a state without a salvage title it would show up as being re-titled in a different state, not as a duplicate title.
