There is no guarantee that they return the same original buffer.
Actually, it is highly unlikely. Some information, not useful to Org, is
ignored during parsing (e.g., global indentation, case for keywords...).

However, they will return an equivalent buffer, in the sense that both
the produced and the original one have the same parse tree.

No, this is a genuine bug. This is now fixed. Thank you.
