Can a universal app charge you twice for an in app purchase,
first on the iPad and then again iPhone?

The app below shows 2 in app purchases, different prices,
but in fact they are the same thing a graphics extension to the free universal app.
One is for the iPad the other for the iPhone.

Not a big deal but it seems contrary to Apples in app purchase guidelines?
