That does not sound at all like the normal behaviour. It appears that the problematic entries are being matched as strings of text rather than as file objects.
My guess about the cause is that something is weird in the way that your catalogue is set up. Test your example again, but choose Show Source in Catalog as the action in the second pane. This will open QS's catalogue and reveal the source for the problematic entry. Report back here with what you find when you do this, and we'll be able to go from there.
