The ones in the blockchain did this by creating a coinbase transaction
paying to a certain address. Since a coinbase has no input, two transactions
paying to the same output will create a duplicate TxId. They are essentially
the same tx. (miners add a coinbase message now, and a block-height to solve
this issue).
Bip030 has disabled those, yes. But what it states is that you are allowed
duplicate txids on the blockchain, just not when the previous one is still
unspent.
