It would be silly to speculate on the cause of this, but for mild amusement consider the following made-up situation.
Hypothetically, within an API genRSA(), calls to genPrime() in library UNSAFE might use a stale context/seed for generating the first prime, and then use a fresh context for the second prime. Two successive calls to the API would give the problem, and it would go unnoticed as the output moduli would be different.
