rng(seed) strange behaviour at first call of script after matlab startup

Hi,
I use matlab for machine learning with neural networks and have a strange behaviour with setting the seed fixed at the beginning of my script. This is to have reproducible results at every call of the script.
At first call of the script after start of matlab the results are different than the following. After the first call the following calls produce the same results as expected. All first calls after startup do also produce the same results than the other first calls.
I set a fixed seed at startup just with:
rng(0)
% rest of script
I hope somebody can help me.
Edit:
As asked in the comments I provide a minimum working example. script.m is the script and data.csv contains the data. In the script first the data is loaded, then the seed is set, then the data is adapted to the neural network (first column is output class and all other columns are input features) and then the network is trained and tested. The differences of the first and following calls can be examined by e.g. the variable percentErrors. On my system (Windows 10 Home (Version: 1803) 64-bit, Matlab R2016a) the first call of the script leads to a value of 0.96. The second and the following calls lead to a value of 0.98.

Use below command
RandStream.setDefaultStream(RandStream('mt19937ar','seed',1));
