This assumes the bug exists in both places which might not be true at all even if they both are dependent on the same duplicated code.

If you only spot the bug in path A and not path B, why fix the bug for B?

Why bother having to reason out if path B is or is not buggy? Instead of potentially getting that analysis wrong, DRY, fix it in the one place, be sure that it's fixed for that case, and move onto the next bug.
