A similar example with another Type 5 suffix is:

  tlhIngan juHqo'Daq tlhIng yoSDaq 'oH toQDuj chenmoHlu'meH Daq wa'DIch'e'
  1st Construction Site:  The Kling District, Klingon Home World.   (KBoP)

Note it’s not the same thing as it’s not apposition but specificity or precision – is there a better grammatical/linguistic term? -- like a mailing address:  Apartment 4B, 1234 Blackstone Street, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.  (In some countries the order of elements on an envelope is reversed.)

Another example of repeating the suffix (also not apposition) is:

  poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI'
  The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors.  (S9)

   (“while warriors stand on the left [side] and on the right [side], the
      celebrant must walk [in the area] between them”)

Yet another example is:

  tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq
  all around, all over (the place) (st.k 11/21/1999)
  (“from area-southwestward to area-northwestward to area eastward)

Again this is not apposition, but sequence:  from A to B to C.

Can anyone think of other examples where the same suffix appears on both elements of an appositional phrase?

Skybox 1 has (among other sentences) the following phrase:
 
{juHqo' Qo'noSvo' loghDaq lengtaHvIS tlhInganpu'} with the translation "..expansion of the klingon people from their homeworld of kronos into space.."
 
Shouldn't the "from their homeworld of kronos" be given as {Qo'noS juHqo'vo'} instead of {juHqo' Qo'noSvo'} ?

Not really. juHqo' Qo'noSvo' is just an example of apposition. From Kronos, the homeworld.

What's interesting about this to me is that a -vo' isn't added to both words. If I were writing this sentence I would have said juHqo'vo' Qo'noSvo'. You can imagine a comma between the two words. Lacking a -vo' on juHqo', and the way type 5 suffixes migrate to the ends of verbs, suggest to me that type 5 noun suffixes act more like clitics than simple noun inflections.
