--- Comment #2 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> ---
Testing your first scenario, I don't see a mismatch:
# stap -e 'probe process.syscall, nd_syscall.* { 
              if (pid() == target()) println(pp())
           }' -c /bin/PROGRAM

Hypothetical mismatches could occur because of the different underlying probing
mechanisms (kprobes versus tracepoints), which can incur temporary failures in
different ways.  (Use "stap -t" for more precise accounting of skipped probes.)


The second part of your report seems similar to bug #19812, which interfered
with intra-container targeted user-space probing.  It was fixed in systemtap
3.0.
