Nice :-).
As expected, as y1 and y2 are the same filter, images are the same.
Could you test those values ?

y1 =>
(0, 1, 3, 7
  11, 13, 1, 2
  8, 19, 34, 242)
  vector: 7fdffbfe - normalization factor: 9
y2 =>
(0, 1, 6, 6
  13, 25, 3, 0
  25, 3, 117, 254)
  vector: 4e53ca72 - normalization factor: 9
Channels coefficients: (gr: 8, r: 8, gb: 8, b: 8)
