You need to select the newest computer by selecting the highest computer id number and click on merge host and mege the oterh 3 hosts.
It can happen if something happens to the boinc configuration when the project is being attached.

It is indeed a BOINC bug. I am working on it now with David Anderson and Rom Walton. I'm hopeful that this can be fixed without a client-side change. There is another BOINC bug in the client related to operating behind a proxy that might lead to similar behavior, but I don't think it's responsible here.
