Could you explain why the two ought to be identical?
From what `q' is for (*repeating* a chord), reading this snippet I'd conclude
that they shall produce different results, as the repeated chord is not the same
in both cases (the second <c a> does not have the same octave as the first one).

`q' is not a textual macro.  It is really for repeating the very same chord 
(with
the same octave).

[1747 is indeed a duplicate for 1110, but this is orthogonal from the
above case.]
