Did you miss that I replied in between your reply and that from dizmo? Pretty sure that's what the 2nd notification was for.

Thats what the dual notification was, as I posted before dizmo.

I've had notification bell light up briefly (with the number of notif i havent read before i opened it on another tab) and disapear if I have more than 1 tab of the forum open, might be related?

All of the notifications in your screenshot match up with posts, but they're all unread. 

 

Most likely here I think someone reacted to a post of yours multiple times (either changing or revoking their react), which sends then retracts the notification. That meant that the count went up, but the notification was gone when you opened the list. This can occasionally manifest in getting a browser notification about a notification that you already read, but it is only in the list once.

I posted replied to Eigenvektor, then closed the forum. At this point, i had no notifications. When I came back, I had a notification from Dizmo and Eigenvektor. When typing to Dizmo, I got another Eigenvektor reply notification. There was only 2 new comments in that time I was gone, and another comment did not appear when I got the reply notification. 

 

I wonder is this is caused by the multi-reply notification (Dizmo and Eigenvektor).

"x and y replied to" notifications don't exclude posts that you're notified about for other reasons, so I suspect the quote notification was just slightly late (it can take up to a minute sometimes) so was delivered after you saw the reply.
