May I bypass the duplication penalty, if I want to post the same articles on HubPages AND my blog?
I've read there's a threshold for duplicate content, before the penalty applies. If I'm the author of my own work, may I submit my articles onto my own blog, and on HubPages without losing prominence in both Google's SERPS and on HubPages scoring?

In short, no.
Duplicating content means in the end, Google will decide one site or the other is more relevant and rank the other down. Anything that appears anywhere else on the Internet and then is posted to a HubPage can incur a score penalty. So, with both places saying that they really want original content, why be lazy if you're really trying to get good scores and SERPS?

I don't know what Google SERPS is, but I know that HubPages does NOT like duplicate content; one of my hubs was recently flagged as containing duplicate content. It was a "reprint" of an article I wrote on ezinearticles, which I deleted there before publishing it on HubPages.
I eventually got permission to republish it on HubPages, but if it didn't have any "outgoing links" (I had to remove a Wikipedia link, even though there was no monetary advantage to me). After much questioning of team@hubpages.com, I never really got a clear answer on what they consider duplicate content to be.
So, I would say, no, there isn't a threshold. My hub was the first one I'd published on HubPages that appeared elsewhere. And even though I was given permission to publish the hub minus the outgoing links, I still don't know if it will effect my Hubscore at some later point. My advice: ere on the side of caution.
You can vote each answer up or down to show your support or disapproval. You cannot flag an answer, but if an answer receives enough down votes compared to up votes, then it will become hidden.
