Sorry, I should have explained more: in GAP, a set is implemented as a sorted list without any "holes" or duplicate entries <https://www.gap-system.org/Manuals/doc/ref/chap21.html#X80CDAF45782E8DCB>.
I would assume that for all the other conjugacy classes, it happens to be the case that calling List(AsList(T), AsList) returns sorted lists, while for this last case the default ordering isn't sorted. I don't know how GAP sorts lists of group elements, however, so can't explain it more deeply than that!

I'm still curious about why it seemed to have no issues with any other conjugacy classes, and why this one was different, but at least this appears to be a way to avoid the issue popping up.
