Two different IP addresses leased out to the same device

Hmm, If I understand you correct, the client's PXE client first
acquired an IP address, supplied a Client-ID and then Windows did the
same thing without a Client-ID? I think it would help to not save the
Client-ID in the lease database - is this correct?

Looks like this is in the program code, right? Is there anything I can
do in my server config to get the same effect?
