Thanks for your answer, Yan, but unfortunately my real goal is to
"clone" some production servers which are running since a long time; i
can't install these from scratch. As i wrote:
"Besides that i got the same problem trying to do the same on some
production servers, which are running since a long time. However in
those cases the difference is even bigger, there are around 80 packages
reported to be installed on just the second machine, which i expected to
be an exact clone (also identical hardware and so on)."

So what would be of special interest to me is an answer to this
assumption; as i wrote:
"My assumption in this case is that some packages are being installed on
the "clone", because an "addon" section like "KDE" is in the
profile.xml; while some packages of the "kde" selection were separately
removed from the "original" machine after installation (without removing
the whole selection "kde"). Could this be the cause?"

Has anyone an idea or experience in that?
