nmap OS detection providing different results

Hello, When running against non-Windows hosts (AIX), I've noticed that nmap's OS detection (nmap -O) doesn't provide the same results all of the time. About 1/5 scans nmap fails to find the remote hosts when run repeatedly. Is this expected? Would pasting the OS signature that returns when the current ones fail into nmap-os-db and submitting to nmap.org be a reasonable workaround?
