Happens very rarely... for me it was the case with the Halflife and the Flatout bundle.

For some reason, I can't access the link, but this should answer your question:
Quoted from https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4502-TPJL-2656 :
Extra copies will only be issued as a special promotion in the following specific cases:
Users who own "Left 4 Dead" and then go on to purchase "Left 4 Dead + Left 4 Dead 2 Bundle" will receive an extra copy of "Left 4 Dead".
Users who own "Portal" and then go on to purchase "Portal Bundle" will receive an extra copy of "Portal".
Users who own “Half-Life 2” and go on to purchase “The Orange Box” or the "Valve Complete Pack" will receive an extra copy of “Half-Life 2”.
Users who own “Half-Life 2: Episode One” and then go on to purchase the "Half-Life 2: Episode Pack”, “Valve Complete Pack” or “The Orange Box” will receive an extra copy of “Half-Life 2: Episode One”.
Users who own "Dawn of War II"and then go on to purchase "Dawn of War II Gold Edition" will receive an extra copy of "Dawn of War II"
Users who purchase the available four packs for specific Steam titles will receive three extra copies of that title to gift to friends.
Extra copies may apply as a part of some limited time promotions. In that case, information on what will be included with your purchase will be listed on the storefront's transaction page.
These special promotions will allow you to send a gift pass for your extra copy to a friend who does not already own the game.
These promotion do not apply to any games other than those specifically listed.

I can't view the bundle (probably not available in Germany).
But I'm pretty sure that only valve bundles add games you already own as gifts.
I had at least two bundles (that weren't valve games) that were lost, since I already had them in my library.
Try to activate it the bundle as gift (inventory) on an alt/friends account and hope that it'll split into multiple gifts.

OK as someone suggested I added it to cart & there was a notice that I wouldn't receive extra copies. Thanks for the quick replies everyone, I decide not to buy it.

I want to buy a bundle, this one http://store.steampowered.com/sub/74035/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_3
Problem is I own a few of these games already.
My question here is: The games that I already own, do I get them in my inventory as gifts?
