Seems to be something that happens with most multi-hit skills that do more than 3 - sometimes they'll do identical crits and damage on several of the hits.

For example, Soul Driver, if the first hit crits, always shows another crit on the 4th hit (and as you can see, it does the same damage).
Other than that, it's independent - the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hits can all crit without another. But there's never a first hit crit without a 4th hit crit.
What I'm having trouble determining is whether this translates to actual damage, or if it's just a visual problem.
As for the effect, if it really is:
Well, the first hit effectively deals double crit damage. So instead of 5% chance of 20~50%, it's 5% chance of 40~100% extra.
I've noticed this on my Bandit as well, but not my DrK - and obviously my Paladin doesn't have any 4-hit attacks, so it'll never do this.

Dark Knights don't do this with Crusher - but it's not really a 4 hit skill, is it? They also run a 35% crit by default.
