You tell me.  I don't test Microsoft products regularly, but as you
seem to have access to them, you should run a diff on the conflicting
files and see what you come up with.  I would say it is indeed
possible that there area differences.  Microsoft just loves to add
their own crap to cloud a formerly very simple standard into a
complete mess.

You still didn't answer my request to say how you are even adding
these to SM at all.  I can't help if I don't know what you are doing.
Even then, it seems to me that you'll have to walk through the code to
see where the problem is happening.
