Spinda form determined at catch and NOT set at time of pickup?

Yesterday after the stops changed, I completed / claimed an old Spinda task, but got the new #1 form, confirmed in my dex. Is this known behavior? I would have assumed Quests behave like eggs where it is pre-determined at the time of pickup. Anyone else seen or heard of this?

CD shinies confirmed months ago that quest encounters are determined at the moment you first open the encounter. People have been able to get shinies from saving an old Larvitar or starter quest and first opening the encounter after the shiny was released.

If you look at it again in your collection, is it still the new pattern? Just wondering if it was an odd visual glitch on the catch screen.

Variants are determined the moment you start the encounter.
