One thing that it is important to be clear on is that SQLite Expert is a 3rd-party product that is not supported nor even understood by the official SQLite developers. SQLite Expert, if I am not mistaken, does try to do some magic under the hood to make SQLite function more like how the SQLite-Expert authors think it should function, rather than how it actually functions. So your theory of the difference in output being due to shenanigans perpetrated by SQLite Expert might be correct, for all I know.
The sqlite3.exe program, on the other hand, is an officially supported product, developed by and for the core SQLite developers. SQLite3.exe behaves as the SQLite core developers intend SQLite to behave. All that said, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking.....
