Folding WUs which were already returned before

Hello,
Since this morning (in Europe), around 5:30am UTC, I was assigned 6 Wus, all from project 13438. When I look at the status of these work units on https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu , I notice that all of them have been previously returned and credited to other participants with a status code OK on 12/10 and 12/11, a few days ago.

Here's the list of the WUs involved :
Project: 13438 (Run 2711, Clone 8, Gen 0)
Project: 13438 (Run 2806, Clone 32, Gen 0)
Project: 13438 (Run 2933, Clone 38, Gen 0)
Project: 13438 (Run 2997, Clone 41, Gen 0)
Project: 13438 (Run 2985, Clone 40, Gen 1)
Project: 13438 (Run 3124, Clone 31, Gen 0)

I've already been in the situation of computing WUs with a previous failed status by other participants, but never WUs already returned OK. But maybe it's normal, I've only been folding for a few weeks...

Anyway, I wanted to raise the point, in case it's an issue in the assignment process which would spoil part of the precious computing capacity. And if it's normal, I'm sure I'll get an explanation by a veteran and learn something new about F@H.

Happy folding !

They found problems with some runs and restarted those.
