I like the text and I'm not sure we can reduce the usage of "duplicate(s)" too much but I do think it should lose a clause or two, while making clearer the division between the "hide it" section
I suggest:
Marking this bug as a duplicate will remove it from future search results.
<strong>Note:</strong> This bug has duplicates of its own. If you go ahead, they'll become duplicates of the bug you specify here.
