Mysticial got it rightMysticial got it right: even though the question was just closed, the vote was cast over a year ago. Close votes are not deleted when the user who cast them is - instead, ownership is given to the Community user.

When a question is closed, the names of the voters who closed it are recorded in the post history. So questions closed after some voters have had their accounts removed will credit Community, while questions closed before voters have their accounts removed will attribute the original voters. This is the difference between the two examples you list.

Update 9th March 2015:

From now on, it may also appear that Community has voted to close a question as a duplicate to another. More information can be found herehere; rolling over the Community name will bring a tooltip saying that the OP agreed his/her question is a dupe.
