Adriaan, are the duplicate bug reports showing up anywhere, such as in search results? They shouldn't, so they don't need to be "closed" separately.
Perhaps the real problem is that to people used to bug trackers where Duplicate is a status, duplicate bug reports in Malone appear to be open when they're really not. (Duplicate can't really be a status in Malone, because the same bug can have multiple statuses.) One way to improve this would be to hide or dim the statuses on of duplicate bug report pages.
