Are you sure that you have the same versions?  Did you happen to
install one of them in a path with a space in it?  Maybe you tried
both from different environments?

The tag is a strict superset of the source distribution.  Here's what
I just did:

  $ mkdir 1
  $ cd 1
  $ tar xzf ...some-dir.../plt-src-mac.tgz
  $ cd ..
  $ mkdir 2
  $ cd 2
  $ mkdir racket
  $ cd racket
  $ git archive --remote=git://git.racket-lang.org/plt.git v5.1.1 \
    | tar x
  $ cd ../..
  $ diff -rq 1 2

In the first tar command I'm using a backup of the tgz files that were
later turned to the installers -- you'll need to just copy the tree
from the dmg file there.  In any case, here's the output of the diff:
