Sure there is.  It's the same word in both places, so why should there
be a safek in one and not the other?

I'm not sure what this whole thing has to do with the GRA.  I'm
fairly confident that it didn't originate with him.  That there's
a machlokes in what he did, which side of the safek he came down on,
is one thing, but the safek itself, and the custom of some people
to say both, is surely older.   I doubt that L would have a minhag
based on a machlokes between talmidei haGRA about how he lained.
