A client that has had an address will request the same address. Even if the client doesn't ask for the same address, the server will check its cache to see if a particular address was previously assigned and will re-assign the same address. Found this out the hard way when trying to get DHCPv6 working. Still have some similar oddities to you that I need to clean out caches to make go away.
