Duplicated text in Sub-title field in WG++ output from Radio Times data

I've noticed that (as far as I can tell) all the entries that have a Sub-title in the WG++ output from Radio Times data have this field populated with the actual sub-title duplicated. It looks like:
- if the actual sub-title ends with question-mark or exclamation mark, the field is populated with 2 copies of the actual sub-title with a space between them.
- otherwise, it's the same 2 copies of the actual sub-title with a full-stop and a space between them.
(example of one of each of these cases below)

Is this a feature of the Radio Times data or of WG++?

Thanks,
Dan
