Is this really due to color differences of the order of 10^-17, or
rather due to different libc-inherited random number generator
implementations on different machines (which IIRC have been eliminated
and replaced by a povray-internal generator in 3.x)?

Since povray by default neglects everything below 1/256, I can barely
imagine such an effect with recent versions.
