Since I could not reproduce this test case failure either, I looked at your supplied test output files from the "orig-smiv2" test case. There was only a difference in the order of imported items. This does NOT affect the correctness of the emited files.
However, it would be interesting to know how this happened. I can just guess that it's something like a differing order of results from readdir(3) calls when MIBs are looked up, or something similar. I admit that my enthusiasm is limited to get this to a more deterministic fashion.
