Comment (by nickm):

 If that's the only difference, my guess would be that the authorities are
 running different versions of Tor, and that there is somehow a difference
 in how these versions generate the client-versions lines.

 That said, I can see no reason in 0.2.9 or 0.3.5 why an authority would
 ever have different versions lines in the ns and md consensuses.

 Maybe it would be helpful to know the votes that led to that particular
 situation above?  And to say the exact Tor versions that the authorities
 were running at the time?
