One possible reason I can think of is setting the session_replication_role to replica do some insert that violates the constraints and then set it back to orgin. Or it's still set to replica ?
In this case when it's set to replica no constraint validation will be done.

No, dropping and re-creating the constraint cannot be the explanation, unless the primary key constraint is NOT VALID.
With "uuid", it also cannot be a collation problem.
The best thing to get rid of this data corruption is to delete the extra entries and then to sump and restore the data to a new database.
