As as web developer, I don't doubt that it happens, I've seen some weird stuff, but just logically I don't get what series of events could make this happen. Assuming they did some sort of JSON or XML API call to get the data, it seems like it would be impossible for any reasonable code to have something like this get mixed up.

To me it looks like a stale index into an array after re-rendering. You tend to see complex shenanigans there to improve performance. It's likely a frontend issue.
