Firstly, if 2 pages interlink with the same content, one seems to get dumped [ filtered out ]. Links on the "dumped" pages seem to get counted for zilch ie they appear to pass no PR or link text. They do seem to get counted for content value though , if they are unique.

I was with you up to that last bit. I'm not sure what you mean there. Here's my reading (and my confusion).

Two urls with the same content interlink, so one is dumped. So how can one of those dumped pages be unique? It was dumped because it's a duplicate, no? I must be misreading you - help me out, please.
