I can't find my Klose but, since I somehow find it hard to imagine that he had color trills or Bulgarian wedding music in mind when he wrote his book, let me suggest a couple of other reasons. One would be to move from a less secure to a more secure fingering when the former was made necessary by the note preceding the repeated notes. Another would be to facilitate the note following the repeated notes.
This might have been particularly important for simple-system clarinets. However, given that Klose was involved in the development of the Boehm system clarinet, simple-system considerations may not have been an issue for him. I wonder if current editions of his book indicate which system he originally wrote for.
Best regards,
