During a test with the search function of the forum
and attempts of finding some old RWBC test tourney reports,
I found again this old bug message by Telmo Escobar.
http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/messages/49046.htm
I got curious and tested Amateur and ExChess again
and well the bug is still there
I bet it's also present in some others...

What version? I don't have any problem with Alex1.60.09e. I ran the program in console mode and send moves interactively.

You'll be glad to know that KKFChess and FireFly have book move repetition protection :
// Ignore moves that lead to repetition
IsBookMove = (RepetitionCount(CB,16) < 2) && GetBookRec(CB,&rec);
They can still play a repeated move but not directly off the opening book.
