As I said: for whatever reason, chloroplast and mitochondrial 
sequencing/assembly is a pretty ungrateful thing ... the uneven coverage in 
data sets I've seen so far accounts for one of them. I've seen sets with 
coverage variance of a factor 5 from the average coverage.

What you should do:
- a mapping assembly against a reference and then look at the coverage. Find 
out whether there are parts which are extremely overrepresented. Try top find 
out whether it's normal.
- also, try a de-novo assembly with adding "-AS:ard=no" and see whether this 
helps. The totally uneven coverage probably fools the repeat detection.
