I think that it is lack of positional understanding.

Crafty knows some things that Junior does not know.
This is probably also the reason that crafty can find very fast the Bg7 move
when Deep Junior probably needed the all 8 processors to find it(chessfun found
that the commercial Deep Junior with one processor needs  a long time to find
Bg7 and prefers Rg8 when Crafty does not consider Rg8 as best (probably because
it knows that after Rg8 Nxh5 Bxg5 hxg5 Rxg5 black has not pair of bishops and
white has the advantage because it has good chances to get a passed pawn).
