Yes? Very little about Claude is deterministic. If given the same sufficiently complicated problem, but via slightly different input prompts, it can generate entirely different code. It would be shocking if they all had a single shared bug.

If it's a complicated but narrow problem then regardless of the prompt its possible that Claude will always converge to the same solution type from its training data. So it will generate different version of the same code that have the different implementations of the same procedure that 'works' but is incorrect in some subtle way.

I don't think it would be that shocking, if it's a conceptual confusion that's easy to make.
