I don't think these checks are redundant.

Consider self.prefix_chars = {'-'}

The left hand side requires '--foo' whereas your updated code incorrectly allows X-foo

I do think these conditions could be combined, perhaps something like:

if (
        option_string[0] in self.prefix_chars and
        len(option_string) > 1 and
        option_string[1] in self.prefix_chars
):
    ...

Please check the code from line no 1463. It checks for the condition option_string[0] in self.prefix_chars.

Ah indeed! Maybe use elif so that's more clear at a glance?

I can do this.

if not option_string[0] in self.prefix_chars:
   # Some code. 
    raise
else:
     option_strings.append(option_string)
     if len(option_string) > 1 and option_string[1] in self.prefix_chars:
            long_option_strings.append(option_string)

Or the current code is also fine.

@asottile This change looks good. No need for else. This looks cleaner. Please review.

long_option_strings.append(option_string)
if len(option_string) > 1 and option_string[1] in self.prefix_chars:
long_option_strings.append(option_string)

# infer destination, '--foo-bar' -> 'foo_bar' and '-x' -> 'x'
dest = kwargs.pop('dest', None)
