It might be, that you're seeing an error from unioning geometries being
intermediary results from preceding union operations. The cascaded union
algorithm doesn't 'grow' the result sequentially, but builds several
sub-geometries based on proximity criteria of the initial geometries and
'grows' those. As a result the sequence of pair-wise union operations is
completely different from the naïve union algorithm.
