The tool is probably flagging it as a 1.3.1. failure because WCAG failures F17 and F62 used to list 1.3.1 as a failure caused by duplicate IDs:

https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140916/F62.html

These were both removed in https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20150226/

Oh, and I only just noticed that you said it fails 1.3.1, not 4.1.1? In
that case, no idea what that particular automated tool is
thinking/doing. Certainly doesn't look like a 1.3.1 issue to me at all.
False (by quite a long shot) positive?
