I've seen this in similar circumstances, and it's my guess that when .NET
needs the assembly for reflection/metadata purposes it loads it as a
resource, and when it's needed for calling entrypoints, it loads it as an
executable DLL. The result is that the DLL has two occurrences in the
hosting process.
