Went to the prerelease tonight and my girlfriend picked Rakdos and got Boros as her secret ally. She opened her Boros guild pack and the list had two rares and two guildgates along with the commons and uncommons.
The rare was Spark Trooper and most of the cards were on that guildpack track but the pack also contained an Aurelia, the Warleader and a second guildgate.
According to the list we know there should have been Furious Resistance and a Guildscorn Ward instead of the second guildgate and the Aurelia.
There was a second instance of this with someone else's Orzhov pack with a Blind Obedience and a Luminate Primordial and no guildgates. I did not get the rest of his list.
No one reported getting a pack without any rares but there were also a bunch of people rather new and may just not of noticed, even a regular player may have not noticed as the amount of cards and colors can seem overwhelming and you simply miss that your missing a rare.
I just wanted to post this to let you know there are known differences in these guildpacks from the lists that have been provided so don't jump to conclusions of cheating if you see a double gatecrash or return rare in someone's pool. Some of these packs are packaged incorrectly it seems.
TLDR Guild pack had rare and mythic and two guildgates tonight at prerelease someone else's had two rares and no guildgates, not every pack conforms to the lists we know.
To mods: not sure if this is the best place for this post, feel free to move.
Someone at my LGS got accused of cheating because he had two Disciple of the Old Ways in his deck and there was supposedly no way of him being able to do that other than slipping it in himself. If the DGM guild packs differed at all, especially by the presence of duplicate cards, then it could make for a logistical nightmare like that.
Did anyone else get double anything from a guild pack?
This happened to me, too. Pulled both a Signal the Clans and a Clan Defiance, along with two copies of the gruul guildgate all in my gruul guild pack. Luckily, the judge was sitting right beside me as I opened it.
The guy across from me also got two rares and guildgates in his gruul pack, and my friend had the same thing happen in his golgari pack.

There's no way to get 2 of a common? I had 5 Skeletal Kathari in my Shards of Alara sealed pool.
Well, it would seem unlikely in this format because you're only got one "pack" from RTR and one from GTC, which means he pulled both Disciples from the same guildpack. Apparently it's not impossible, but having not heard of other cases it might have aroused suspicion.
The guild packs this time were printed separately from the original ones since they had to insert the "logo" card. Makes sense that things may have been altered.
last night we opened 4 selesnya guildpacks, and they were all the same, the rare was prectinct captian.
then we opened 3 boros guildpacks and again they were all the same, we only had 1 selesnya guildpack different and 1 boros guildpact different that night.

I played against a guy with two Grisly Spectacle. I was suspicious, since I didn't think that was possible and even if you were going to get double of a GTC card, I thought you probably wouldn't get such a good one, but I held my tongue.
Guy across from me opened a master biomancer in his simic pack. Apparently that was a card that was supposed to be impossible to open...

The rare was Spark Trooper and most of the cards were on that guildpack track but the pack also contained an Aurelia, the Warleader and a second guildgate.
The whole list of cards from the pack is: Aurelia, the Warleader, Spark Trooper, Fortress Cyclops, Hellraiser Goblin, Guardian of the Gateless, Armored Transport, Angelic Edict, Wojek Halberdiers, Structural Collapse, Assault Griffin, Warmind Infantry, Shattering Blow, Foundry Street Denizen, and 2x Boros Guildgate.
According to the list we know there should have been Furious Resistance and a Guildscorn Ward instead of the second guildgate and the Aurelia.

Seems like a fairly common occurrence.
