Something doesn't add up here.  If indeed repetition is the problem, then
your two finger test is not accurate enough.  Ask the pianist to demonstrate
the problem to you in person.

Determine at that time whether the sustain pedal is engaged.  If it is not,
have the pianist activate the sustain pedal and then attempt to demonstrate
the problem again.  If the problem goes away, then your concern about the
damper system is strengthened.  If it does not, you have further
investigation to do in the action, the parts involved, and their correctness
of operation.
