FreeType has multiple hinting engines (because the original hinting scheme is, groan, patented), plus can attempt to autohint on its own in the absence of manual hinting. That's all that's going on here (well, plus the ludicrous removal of manual hints from Bookerly even though the autohinter clearly is doing a worse job).
