It's not random, it's undoubtedly a different IdP. If it's not, then that IdP has a bug.

As far as the error, the signature's bad, in the sense that the metadata you have doesn't contain the right key (or I guess in theory the IdP itself could be broken, but that's less likely). The PKIX part is interesting only insofar as it suggests the signature itself doesn't carry a KeyInfo, which is very unusual for the response leg, and suggests this is a weird IdP (which raises red flags in general).

Unless you only have one IdP in use, that doesn't follow.
