So long story short I have a gloom stalker ranger that took archery fighting style. After playing around a bit I found I could take the fighting initiate feat and take the archery fighting style again for another plus 2 to hit. Tested it and confirmed it updates on the character sheet. After talking this over with a friend we think this is likely a bug.
It's less a bug and more of a 'the character sheet as developed isn't smart enough to be able to check if you already have it,' but you're correct that it's not intended RAW to be able to stack them. They've been working for some time to upgrade the back end in such a way that will fix this in the future without pulling the rug from under all the already built characters.
