'git commit' duplicates parents?

I just checked in a change with 'git commit' (no arguments).  Two 
strange things occurred:

1) git-whatchanged does not list the change at all.  However,
	a) I verified that my change is indeed top-of-tree
	b) git-changes-script (attached) does show the change

2) git-changes-script shows the parents in a readable fashion, and it 
shows two duplicate parent entries.  In contrast, other changes do not 
have two parents:

my change:
> commit 4864989199fa62c7044be2258550ddc561411ab6
		^^^ top of tree aka .git/HEAD
> tree b40996c7a0a5446875aa3664045af7e377451bf6

a random change not committed by 'git commit':
