Dougie, have you edited the [buds] part of that card after it had been put into the review cycle (that is, after clicking "yet to learn" when first creating the card)?
I have noticed odd results on several of my cloze cards when I did that. Sometimes the card looked fine in the card browser, yet had errors when actually reviewed. One example: I changed the contents of a single colze box on a card having multiple cloze elements. That element then showed correctly on all sister cards _except_ when it was the cloze element being tested, in which case it showed the _original_ contents as the answer, not the replacement. Yet the master card showed correctly in the card browser, and when opened in the editor, the original contents was nowehere to be seen! Like you, this error was reproducible for that card whenever it came up for review. Other cards have evidenced different quirks after editing a cloze element -- the results were not always as described in the example above. As I recall, I'm pretty sure one or two were like yours with an orphan part left outside the cloze bracket. I have concluded that it is unreliable to edit a cloze card once it has been added to the database; it is better to delete the original and remake that card.
