​Apparently st_distance() is non-deterministic in its output of float
representations. Its seems likely (though I'm by no means fluent on
floating-point concerns) to be a problem specific to the implementation of
that function and thus better asked on a PostGIS list. You should identify
the "extra" row and see if you can include it in a self-contained query
that demonstrates occasionally returning false for the condition when
normally it returns true.
