should psg.com have recognized that it was already properly DKIMmed and
not added the second?

AFAICS RFC 6376 places no restriction on a second signature,
even if it is done by the same organisation. The section
on verification mentions handling multiple signatures
(but, again, with no mention of who the signatures are from).

One good reason might be for known changes to the message.
Otherwise... pointless but not really a problem?

Thought experiment: what would you do in response to seeing an
unfamiliar document with your seemingly valid signature on it?

It seems to me that such an event should be alarming unless specifically
expected. Or perhaps that it is so unlikely as to be not worth looking
for. I'm not sure that looking for it in order to avoid signing it again
would fit many use cases.

It is worth noting that there are entirely valid reasons to re-sign a
message that has already been signed by a prior MTA. Mailing lists
sometimes are configured to do that.

Not strictly relevant for DKIM, but for ARC
if ran.[o]psg.com trusts psg.com but not mail.rg.net,
then it would definitely make a difference.
