 I get a warning, not an error, and the resultant object has all the points:

 > z = ppp(x=c(0,1,2,2)/4,y=c(1,2,3,3)/4)
Warning message:
In ppp(x = c(0, 1, 2, 2)/4, y = c(1, 2, 3, 3)/4) :
  data contain duplicated points
 > z
 planar point pattern: 4 points
window: rectangle = [0, 1] x [0, 1] units

So what's your problem?
