Well if I look in my glass bowl I can't see why:-)
But if you add some debugging information you should be able to find out
your self.
I would track the whole creation, sending and reading of the md5 to find
out where the md5 gets corrupted.
for example you add an:
error_log($mymd5);
to your code, then visually compare the md5 here with the md5 you send
to the user, then compare with the one which is in db etc.
