FlannBasedMatcher returning different results

edit

Using the FlannBasedMatcher in OpenCV, I am getting different results calling the matcher with the same parameters. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong please?

The code below shows a minimal example of the problem I am having - it is simplified representative of how I use the FlannBasedMatcher - this isn't real code :)

Results output each time around the loop should be identical, but they are not.

    int const k = std::min(query_descriptors.rows,
                      std::min(train_descriptors.rows, 2));

    cv::Mat query_descriptors_original = query_descriptors.clone();
    cv::Mat train_descriptors_original = train_descriptors.clone();
    for (int loop=0; loop<2; ++loop)
    {
        cv::FlannBasedMatcher matcher;
        matcher.add(std::vector<cv::Mat>(1, train_descriptors));

        std::vector<matches_t> knnMatches;
        matcher.knnMatch(query_descriptors,  knnMatches, k);

        matches.clear();
        for (auto const &knn : knnMatches)
        {
            matches.push_back(knn[0]);
            std::cout << knn[0].queryIdx << ',' << knn[0].trainIdx << '\n';
        }
        std::cout << '\n';

        assert(cv::countNonZero(query_descriptors != query_descriptors_original) == 0);
        assert(cv::countNonZero(train_descriptors != train_descriptors_original) == 0);
    }
}

The output, although I don't think it will help(?), is
