System Information
Win7/64, AMD HD6850

Blender Version
Broken: 2.69, 2.70a, latest build 7660218

Short description of error
see subject

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
This problem has already been reported as #39136. As there was no response after I saw the fix didn't work for me, I'm reporting this issue here again.This time with a more practical example: DupliFaces_(2).blend

Open the file: At the bottom there are grouped objects. At the top there is a group instance.
Render and have a look at the artifact (due to faces at same location) of the left-most power-plug of the group instance:

Reason: With DupliFace enabled, the child objects are rendered for each face whereas the child itself and the faces themselves are not rendered. This is expected. However, this doesn't work if the member of a group is a group instance which is additionally rendered.

Thanks again.
