I don't know?

From your question, I am imagining you were expecting one of these
results to be different.  But without knowing which sentence you were
expecting to be different, and what you were expecting, it's hard to
know for sure.

That said, if you expected your second sentence's result to match the
first, I think you should review
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dictb.htm (look for the first
sentence containing the word "fill").  Or, maybe just look at the noun
generated by your parenthesized expression?
