Here's some fun to show you more of why I think the problem is in how somebody is handling this data, I did 3 searches, they were all for H1B's, Computer: Programmer/analysts, by whole state, 2001 for the year, 50 results per page. I did this once to AZ, once to CA and the last time to NY. Then looked for duplicates on JUST the first page, here's my results, unless otherwise noted these are complete duplicates at least within the presented data (so same job title, salary, start date, end date, and same number of aliens):
Arizona
ABCOM CONSULTING AND TRNG LLC 4 listings 10 people Phoenix
ANGELICA'S RECORD DISTRIBUTOR 2 listings 1 person Phoenix
APAR INFOTECH CORPORATION 4 listings 20 people Phoenix
ARCSIGHT INC 1 listing 5 people and 3 listing for 1 person Tempe
AVNET INC 2 listings 3 people Chandler
AXSYS AUTOMATION 3 listing 1 person Scottsdale
California
12 TECHNOLOGIES INC 3 listing 5 people SF Area (other listings for different dates and/ or places)
3COM CORPORATION good proof of non-duplicates, same date entries vary in salary and/ or locations, no true dups
3CX INC 2 entries 3 people San Jose
3D INTERNATIONAL LLC 3 listings 1 person Van Nuys
New York
@ THOUGHT TECHNOLOGIES LLC 2 listings 10 people New York
4 HOUR WIRELESS 2 listings 1 person Plainview
4U SERVICES INC 2 listings 1 person New York
57TH AVENUE MARKET INC 2 listings 1 person Corona
9 BROTHERS BUILDING SUPPLY C0 2 listings 1 person Brentwood
9 THOUGHT TECHNOLOGIES LLC 2 listings 10 people New York
9278 COMMUNICATIONS INC 2 listings 10 people Bronx
A I CREDIT CORPORATION 2 listings 1 person New York
ABACUS SOFTWARE GROUP 2 listings 1 person New York
ABB TURBOCHARGER CO 2 listings 1 person North Brunswick
ABCOM CONSULTING AND TRNG LLC 2 listings 10 people Buffalo
ABN AMRO INC mixed in there are 3 listings identical listings for 2 people New York, they've got a bunch on that date though could be crappy paperwork
Now either all of these companies are pulling a fast one or there's something seriously screwed up in the data handling.

From what I've seen so far, the companies that you claim indicate "bad data" are all foreign companies that import people into this country. And so far, all of the legitimate US companies show no dupes.
Example:
ABCOM CONSULTING AND TRNG
That company is based in India apparently. Take a look at their webpages..
MUMBAI - RETAIL NETWORK - SERVICES DETAILS AT- BOMBAY / MUMBAI-- INDIA
Funny how they look for "programmer analysts", as in THIS directory they claim to be involved with advertising and gifts..
From Search via Alphabetical Listings:
100. Abcom Consulting Co Mumbai, India (91022)567-5770 Advertising / Promotion / Gifts
Now THAT company deserves a serious looking into I'd think.
Next, as an example we have the 3 Com corportation. Sure, they hire H1-B workers but they have different start dates as you correctly notice.
If you find any "duplicate" records for any US corporation, let us know...
