I've seen this too when chasing a balloon. I did discover in testing that creating a waypoint with the same name but a different symbol will cause it to be created with a " 1" suffix. I assumed that somehow the received packet got corrupted or something and it changed the symbol.
I, too, chased the wrong one (on the side of a mountain in the Mojave desert, by moonlight) but it was not more than 1/4 mile from the right one.
