Por que minha consulta do SQL Server está se comportando de maneira diferente em UPDATE e em SELECT?

Eu escrevi uma consulta do SQL Server que atualiza os registros para ter um número seqüencial após o particionamento em um campo. Quando eu o executo como uma instrução SELECT, tudo fica ótimo:

DECLARE @RunDetailID INT = 448
DECLARE @JobDetailID INT

SELECT @JobDetailID = [JobDetailID] FROM [RunDetails] WHERE [RunDetailID] = @RunDetailID

SELECT
    [OrderedRecords].[NewSeq9],
    RIGHT([OrderedRecords].[NewSeq9], 4)
FROM
    (
        SELECT
            [Records].*,
            [Records].[SortField] + RIGHT('0000' + CAST(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [Records].[SortField] ORDER BY [Records].[RunDetailID], [Records].[SortField], [Records].[PieceID]) AS VARCHAR), 4) NewSeq9
        FROM
        (
            SELECT
                [MRDFStorageID], 
                [RunDetailID], 
                [SortField], 
                [PieceID], 
                [Seq9], 
                [BallotType]
            FROM
                [MRDFStorage]
                    JOIN [BallotStyles] ON [MRDFStorage].[SortField] = [BallotStyles].[Style] and [BallotStyles].[JobDetailID] = @JobDetailID
            WHERE
                [RunDetailID] IN (SELECT [RunDetailID] FROM [RunDetails] WHERE [JobDetailID] = @JobDetailID AND [RunStatusID] <> 0)
        ) Records
    ) OrderedRecords 
        JOIN MRDFStorage ON [OrderedRecords].[MRDFStorageID] = [MRDFStorage].[MRDFStorageID]
WHERE
    [MRDFStorage].[RunDetailID] = @RunDetailID

No entanto, quando transformamos a consulta em um comando UPDATE, ele começa a pular números pares:

DECLARE @RunDetailID INT = 448
DECLARE @JobDetailID INT 

SELECT @JobDetailID = [JobDetailID] FROM [RunDetails] WHERE [RunDetailID] = @RunDetailID

UPDATE
    [MRDFStorage]
SET
    [Seq9] = [OrderedRecords].[NewSeq9],
    [Overlay1] = [OrderedRecords].[NewSeq9],
    [Overlay10] = RIGHT([OrderedRecords].[NewSeq9], 4)
FROM
    (
        SELECT
            [Records].*,
            [Records].[SortField] + RIGHT('0000' + CAST(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [Records].[SortField] ORDER BY [Records].[RunDetailID], [Records].[SortField], [Records].[PieceID]) AS VARCHAR), 4) NewSeq9
        FROM
        (
            SELECT
                [MRDFStorageID], 
                [RunDetailID], 
                [SortField], 
                [PieceID], 
                [Seq9], 
                [BallotType], 
                CAST([SpecialProcessing] as Int) StartCount
            FROM
                [MRDFStorage]
                    JOIN [BallotStyles] ON [MRDFStorage].[SortField] = [BallotStyles].[Style] and [BallotStyles].[JobDetailID] = @JobDetailID
            WHERE
                [RunDetailID] IN (SELECT [RunDetailID] FROM [RunDetails] WHERE [JobDetailID] = @JobDetailID AND [RunStatusID] <> 0)
        ) Records
    ) OrderedRecords 
        JOIN MRDFStorage ON [OrderedRecords].[MRDFStorageID] = [MRDFStorage].[MRDFStorageID]
WHERE
    [MRDFStorage].[RunDetailID] = @RunDetailID

Eu tentei focar especificamente nesta parte:

[Records].[SortField] + RIGHT('0000' + CAST(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [Records].[SortField] ORDER BY [Records].[RunDetailID], [Records].[SortField], [Records].[PieceID]) AS VARCHAR), 4) NewSeq9

Existe algum efeito colateral de que sou ignorante?

ATUALIZAÇÃO COM DEFINIÇÕES DE TABELA

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MRDFStorage] (
    [MRDFStorageID]           INT            IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [RunDetailID]             INT            NOT NULL,
    [PieceID]                 VARCHAR (15)   NULL,
    [SortField]               VARCHAR (20)   NULL,
    [BallotType]              VARCHAR (100)  NULL,
    [Seq9]                    VARCHAR (15)   NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_MRDFStorage] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([MRDFStorageID] ASC),
    CONSTRAINT [FK_MRDFStorage_RunDetails] FOREIGN KEY ([RunDetailID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[RunDetails] ([RunDetailID])
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[BallotStyles] (
    [BallotStyleID]     INT           IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [JobDetailID]       INT           NOT NULL,
    [Style]             VARCHAR (20)  NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_BallotStyles] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([BallotStyleID] ASC)
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[RunDetails] (
    [RunDetailID]        INT            IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
    [JobDetailID]        INT            NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT [PK_RunDetails] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([RunDetailID] ASC)
);

Não ver os dados que você possui torna isso um pouco mais difícil, mas consegui reproduzir o que você vê se vê isso:

insert into RunDetails(RunDetailID, JobDetailID) values(448, 1)
insert into MRDFStorage(RunDetailID, SortField) values(448, 'S1')
insert into MRDFStorage(RunDetailID, SortField) values(448, 'S1')
insert into MRDFStorage(RunDetailID, SortField) values(448, 'S1')
insert into BallotStyles(JobDetailID, Style) values(1, 'S1')
insert into BallotStyles(JobDetailID, Style) values(1, 'S1')

O fator chave aqui são as duas linhas BallotStyles.

Você está ingressando BallotStylesna consulta mais interna e, com os dados acima, você obterá linhas duplicadas para cada linha MRDFStorage. Como você não está usando nenhuma das colunas, BallotStylesestá apenas verificando a existência de linhas e isso pode ser feito com uma existscláusula e, é claro, não criará as linhas duplicadas.
