I think that not even telling different teams about the others working on the same thing goes a bit far though. Eventually people will find out anyway and then they will feel like management has lied to them. The fallout of that situation will probably more than erase the benefits from having multiple teams.

Agreed, how the redundancy is managed and clear reasons for it (time to market, risky bets etc) are key.
