No, they do not. You're probably thinking of bundled games but if you already own the game and try to register the same game again it won't void the used code.
New thread is up.

Yes it does. Typically you will get a second entry in your account history that says retail. I have heard that on some occasions it will warn you though, but that seems to be the exception and not the rule.

After doing some extensive research on this there was exactly one (1) case where someone added a second Killing Floor. Apparently this is what happens when you activate a product that includes more than the original license, in Killing Floor's case it probably had to do with the retail version including the (free) Heavy Metal DLC from the beginning. Weird situation that was probably overlooked. But contrary to your claim, people have received warnings about owning the game already in most cases and if you still have your key you can revoke it by contacting Steam Support anyway.

Conflicting reports in those as well, and the steam forums aren't exactly the best place for non bias info.
Like I said it could be a relatively recent fix, but as recently as a year ago it would typically just eat the key. People were even reporting it in the Steam thread here on Neogaf, I believe it was exodus that had a copy of dungeon siege 3 voided right around launch and never got compensated.

Couldn't find that post with googling but if you say so. We've had several people (me included) in the Steam thread trying to redeem games or DLC twice without voiding the key. Dungeon Siege 3 would actually support my theory with the slightly different licenses since the Steam version included Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 as well.
