Here's an interesting one...

www.openbsd.org is running Apache/1.3.3 (Unix) on Solaris.
(whereas www.netbsd.org reports OpenBSD or NetBSD).

It doesn't guess the OS on freebsd-online.ml.org (apache 1.2.5) but it
does for www.kernel.org (also using apache 1.2.5).

Would be nice if they had a "this operating system also runs on <xxx>"
along with the list of people using the same web server :-)

Bizarre.

Netcraft use NCSA for their own server, but it took rather longer to tell
me that than it did for most other sites!
