After Joplin update, all notes with no backlinks include backlinks to themselves
Since upgrading to Joplin 2.13.8, I am experiencing an issue with Automatic Backlinks to note 3.0.3 where a note, if it doesn't have any backlinks, inserts a backlink section with itself listed as a backlink. If a note does have a backlink, it inserts the backlink section correctly.
I am not the only one with this issue; a thread has been created on the Joplin support discussion board discussing this.
I didn't have this issue with Joplin 2.12.19, but when I upgraded to Joplin 2.13.8, the issue manifested itself.

After further testing, I believe this is actually a bug in Joplin, introduced in version 2.13.4, and have submitted a bug report: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/9769
