As I recall from the discussion at a call it was avoiding infinitely nested consequences, and that makes sense. (We at IPTC had such nested structures and implementers told us: "this does now work in a reliable way in practice". Since then we avoid that.)
Further this excludes cyclic dependencies as a Duty having consequences cannot be reused as one of its consequences.

To clarify this regarding my suggest wording of the consequence definition above: the re-expression of the "original Duty" as a consequence may require a few modifications: a) should the constraints be applied (again) (see #275), b) no consequences. See an example of that in https://github.com/w3c/poe/issues/275#issuecomment-333751962
