Because of how it shares a channel, whenever openHAB was rebooted and it would first restore the device trigger components from the channel configuration, and then from the MQTT message, it didn't identify it as the same component as before, and so would merge into another instance of itself. My Things.json is normally 13MB, and had grown to 545MB, and my openHAB was constantly having memory issues! So now just make sure we only keep unique information, which will automatically clean up anyone in a bad state.
