The one obvious and mostly reliable difference is the robot being turned on and probably running user code for a while before the Driver Station is on the network. That's what brings out the timer bug, and the buffered data flood, and perhaps other things that are currently mysterious (e.g. Network Tables glitches). The workaround of restarting the robot program from the Driver Station seems to get past such problems.
