It's a bit involved (that's why it took me a while to locate the difference in behavior), but it boils down to a (learning) algorithm that in principle should not care about order of input data, but will in practice show slightly different numerical behavior. I ran into the problem when trying to exactly reproduce previously published experimental results. Of course, I should have anticipated this and fixed some arbitrary order in the first place. I just thought a note about this change might save someone in a similar situation some confusion.
