The cause is not clear, but may be related to when GPO receives stock. A more subtle problem occurs when two charts are published in the same year. Libraries may mistakenly supersede the current edition because SuDocs classification would make a second distributed chart's class end with [year]-2 (e.g., "/2007-2") even if it were an earlier edition. Since charts issued triennially or more frequently are now being cataloged as serial maps, a good way to avoid problems is to include the edition in the serial holdings. When receiving a new edition, comparing its edition to the chart edition recorded in the holdings will determine whether it's really the latest edition or not.
