As far as I can tell, the rogue talent "Ninja Trick" is different from the ninja trick "Rogue Talent" in that "Ninja Trick" does not restrict you from the tricks you can choose; where as "Rogue Talent" does not let you duplicate a ninja trick, "Ninja Trick" has no such clause.
So am I correct in saying that a rogue can use this to get Combat Trick twice without having to be a Swashbuckler, and a Swashbuckler could in fact choose Combat Trick three times this way?
Here is the text for "Ninja Trick" by the way:
Spoiler:
Ninja Trick (Ex): A rogue with this talent can choose a
trick from the ninja trick list (see pages 14–16). The rogue
can choose but cannot use talents that require ki points,
unless she has a ki pool. A rogue can pick this talent more
than once.

And "Rogue Talent" for comparison:
Spoiler:
Rogue Talent: The ninja can select a rogue talent in place
of a ninja trick. The ninja cannot select a rogue talent that
has the same name as a ninja trick. The ninja can select
this talent multiple times.

Seems like an oversight, but not really one that will result in much exploitation. It may be subject to errata, but really, is a rogue with an extra combat feat so super scary when compared with a fighter?
Not really, just building a silly rogue and the extra combat feat is nice.
