Actually, multiple links to the same page/content is called "multiple gateways" in PR parlance, and is considered a "good thing" because you can grab the attention of more people through multiple gateways. I can't imagine how this would negatively affect people who use AT.

But the same link (or wording) going to different destinations would not be good and would indeed be detrimental for AT users. Confuse the heck out of them. And non-AT users, too.
