That's fair enough. It hasn't made it into Chambers yet though.
People make much the same comments about - say - concretisation, sytagmatic and so forth in LitCrit. That too is technical talk, and not (necessarily) aimed at outsiders.
I don't think I'd object to reduplicate, mind. Deduplicate sounds too much like a stutter to me.
