I think it's actually a bit more random than that. Sometime in the last few years on HN I seem to recall reading that it was a function of whether the URL posted is in some cache or not. If that's true, then recently accessed article can't be reposted.

Whether the HN culture as a whole dislikes reposts is another matter (in my experience it does not) but it does take one argument away from the people who think reposts are contrary to what we do around here.
