Well, the "Places" handling is just a mess at the moment (or rather has been until recently): KDE4 traditionally used the file ~/.kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml for storing them. At some point in the past, the freedesktop.org standard ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel got added too, and since then KDE4 (and KF5) tries to synchronise back and forth the changes between those two files. This led to problems, and trying to fix them led to even more problems, see e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345174. Therefore it has been decided recently to drop ~/.kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml completely and only use ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel in the future, in both KDE4 and KF5. The changes will be in KDE 15.04.1 (and kdelibs 4.14.8), so there should hopefully be no more problems then. The kdelibs part of the fix is included in the KF5 5.10.0 release, so that's probably the reason why that duplication started now (although I'm not sure why the change to KF5 would affect the KDE4-based dolphin, I didn't notice any duplication in ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel, and KF5 obviously doesn't/didn't ever modify ~/.kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml...) It seems to me that dolphin/kdelibs4 do read the entries from both files now again, although it just seemed to ignore the .kde4 location in the last weeks, see the bug report. Anyway, edit ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel and remove all entries (don't delete the whole file or it will just be recreated with the default entries), then there should be no duplicates any more. Removing them in a file open/save dialog should stop the duplication as well. Drawback: KF5 file dialogs won't show those entries any more at all then of course. For a fix, you probably have to wait until 15.04.1, which is to be released tomorrow.
