First I’d make sure that you were using the same query parser in both situations.
Second, export is specific to a core, it is not cloud-aware so if this is SolrCloud I’d expect major differences, which you haven’t told us about, off by 5? 10,000?. Third, there was a bug at one point where export would leave off the last packet IIRC, what version of Solr are you using?
