Saving Private Ryan - had the original DD version, got the DTS version, then sold both to get the World War II Collection when Costco had it cheap.
A Bug's Life - Upgraded to the new Collector's Edition when Costco had it cheap.
From Russia With Love (I think, some James Bond one) - Had an individual copy, then found a used set and sold the one in the set.

Nothing that I can recall. I don't play that game and have been lucky up to this point. I'd rather spend my money on something I don't already have. I'm not saying it will never happen, but it hasn't yet (~400 titles).
Unless you count movies that have been replaced because of box sets (for example, I already had Psycho and got another copy when I bought the big Hitchcock box set). I wouldn't call that a double dip personally.
