Update The answer is so simple, I couldn’t see it at first. 🙂 Just remove the action during the first function call. This way, your work within the API, and your function is really called just once.

When you choose “Your CPT > Add New”, WP calls get_default_post_to_edit(), which actually creates an “empty” post (with ‘post_status’ => ‘auto-draft’) and then calls wp_insert_post().
