No, you understood it quite well it think. That's exactly my question.

PGN standard says a variation starts with a move that can be legally played
after the last move has been taken back. But it doesn't say if that includes or
excludes that exact move that was already made.

There is PGN out there that does this, my question is if this is valid PGN or
not.
