Just theories here:


The same book re-issued by another publisher might have a different ISBN.



A book with an insert (e.g., CDROM) may have a different ISBN, but be the 
"same" for some purposes.



And mistakes can be made...



Ultimately, I suspect that the uniqueness of ISBN to what normal folks call the 
"same book" is not as clear as one would hope.
