Values of an array seem to be getting overwritten.

Greetings!
I am having some issue with my code where array elements seem to be getting overwritten. I am trying to pull the rows of text from a table on a page and compare it with the text from a table on another page to ensure they're equal. Here is a sample row of data from each table. Note the difference in the word "Occupants" vs. "Occupant."
2nd row of table on page 1
====================
edit up down Occupants No No Yes
2nd row of table on page 2
====================
edit up down Occupant No No Yes
Here's the code I have within a function:
goToPage($page1);
var $oldRowData = _collect("_row", "/.*/", _in(_table("report"))); // creates an array consisting of each row in the table on page 1
_log(_getText($oldRowData[1])); // value logged is "edit up down Occupants No No Yes"
goToPage($page2);
var $newRowData = _collect("_row", "/.*/", _in(_table("report"))); // creates an array consisting of each row in the table on page 2
// notice below how $oldRowData[1] suddenly has the same value as $newRowData[1]
_log(_getText($oldRowData[1])); // value logged is "edit up down Occupant No No Yes"
_log(_getText($newRowData[1])); // value logged is "edit up down Occupant No No Yes"
// The assertions below end up TRUE because $oldRowData was overwritten somehow with the values of $newRowData.
// The assertions should really be FALSE based on the actual data in the UI.
_assertEqual($oldRowData, $newRowData); // compare arrays to check row data.
_assertEqual($oldRowData[1], $newRowData[1]); // compare individual elements to check row data.
