The count is not intentionally duplicated. You may notice this problem with follower, following and note count.

The count you show on the left is taken from just viewing the profile normally, comes from a "cached" number (user.followersCount) so that the number of followers does not have to be recounted every time someone visits the profile page which could slow down the server significantly.

The count you show on the right is taken from Settings -> Other -> Account Info. This will actually re-count the respective statistics. You may notice that it takes a bit to load the statistics which is the time it takes to count those numbers.

Ideally those counts would always be in sync but there seem to be some places that do not properly increment or decrement those numbers.

In lieu of that, possible fixes could also be to

update the statistics when viewing the account info page, since they've already been gathered and
periodically update the statistics in some other way.

Option 1 has been implemented in commit d55f8742b8. If you go to the account info page named above, the numbers will be recounted and then stored in the profile so when you go back to the user profile, the number should be corrected.
