The above says "on the basis of changes in collected statistics".  The 
different execution
you see is not because the statistics are different, but because the 
permissions of the
users are different.

I don't know the reason in this case.  You could look at the source code, 
perhaps it is
possible to cause error messages that can give you some clue as to the value 
that you
compare with.  But perhaps, as Tome said, it is just that nobody scrutinized 
the function
hard enough to exclude that something like that can happen.
