Hi,

Maybe, you have a matter with your process itself. You shouldn't duplicate pages by yourself but get the duplication process by the xml import itself.
I am learning with this book :
"A designer's guide to Adobe indesign and XML" from JJ Maivald and Cathy Palmer.
In general, they spend time on structuring the tagging process and page elements. With a frame on the master spread and page set to master.
At the end, they import the xml (selecting the root element on the structure). And then they drop the root element onto the page frame.
At first the text frame has overset. But clicking on the plus icon, adding a page and maj click on the next frame autoflow all the xml elements. So you don't care about duplicating the pages, indesign does it for you.
I don't know if it answers your problem. But there is a chance you get a proper xml export this way.
