I am speculating that earlier versions of OpenERP did not include
variant informations in various reports and gets and therefore this
module created a workaround in which the product.template#name field was
overridden as they have stated in the module description. Then somewhere
down the line OpenERP was improved to include the variant information in
different repots and due to this legacy code in the module, the
redundancy of the name resulted.

Title:
  product_variant_multi adds variant information to product name but is
  redundant on reports

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  New

Bug description:
  After generating products using this module, the invoice line displays
  variant information twice. Example:

  [Product]-[Variant1]-[Variant2]-[Variant1]-[Variant2]  on some
  reports, such as sales orders, packing lists, and others. After
  investigating the module description, I can see that the author has
  overridden some code, but I don't know how to fix it.

  Reading the module description:
  "Gotchas:
  Because many OpenERP reports refer only to the product name without taking care of the
  variant, we decided it's better that each variant has a different name expliciting
  the variant specifics. So we override the product.template#name field and make it
  optional while product.product now has a new mandatory name field. This is usualy
  transparent as OpenERP modules try to get their properties like name from product.product
  and only from product.template if not found on product.product. But at least you
  will have been warned."
