This will (or at least should) only occur if the landmark role is not
on the HTML5 native element, such as...
<div role="navigation">
<nav>
...
</nav
</div>

This should instead be just...
<nav role="navigation">
...
</nav>

An element can only have one role and that role cannot be duplicated.
If JAWS is indicating this information twice for the same element,
then it's surely a bug.

Or it might be a case of the author providing an unnecessary label to
the navigation region which is causing some duplication of
information.
