The difference is the number of letters on the second line. I think it is
possible to see the difference in a standard document, but I don't have time
to find the correct margins, characters size, etc. to reproduce the same
bug.

Furthermore, the bug disappears if we just remove the package hyperref from
entcs.cls .

I don't really understand it, but Donald Arseneau suggested that in 
http://groups.google.fr/groups?threadm=c1.2b8.2K1LTn%2409i%40ag.rhein-main.de

I put Arnaud Giersch in cc. He would give more detailed explanations than me
about his modification. But the fact is that pdflatex produce the correct
result after the modification.
