When I first bought the former, it was dieseling but showed no signs of ever having been tampered with, so I suspect over enthusiastic lubrication. Once I put a few shots through it, it settled down nicely.
I have never believed the 0.177's to be anywhere near as pellet fussy as the 0.22's (due to the difference in metric equivalents) but perhaps they are?
Happy Shooting!! Paul.
