I have also had this happen, in version 0.43.05, after the commander died, i appointed a dwarf that was already in position 4.

Things got really weird when I tried to remove the new commander from the squad - he was then still set in position 4, but also listed under available as "4. (Name...)" in the rightmost column (including the position number!).

Had this happen a couple of times in 43.05. One dwarf assumes two positions at once, forcing the squad to have a max of 9 members. Only solution I found was to disband the squad altogether and make a new one.
