I noticed the same same specially game three, the only explanation that I have
for this is that Fritz8.ctg is too deep and since both programs are using
Fritz8.ctg or opening book if they follow the cook line it is hard to walk out
of a mating net, any other program can like fritz 8 avoid getting out of the
mating net, but only to continue with an inferior game. The setting that i used
is both used the same fritz8.ctg, both programs 64 MB Hash and pondenring off.

PS: I also set the same position of game 3 using Shredder 6 to see if the move
chosen was different but using the same time control shredder 6 also walked into
a mating net. I don't see any reason to continue an inferior game out of the
opening if the endgame will give you the same result. But yes this was something
that caught my attention too.
