This is by design. All fields with the same content are displayed as-is. All fields that have more than one display a choice in the tag panel to by default, or can be selected with a drop-down or can be overwritten if a change is required.

A check box is no different than a Ctrl-click for selecting files, but adds unnecessary clutter to the display in my opinion.
