Again, I don't know, but I would imagine that yes, it could be some other gases. But again, if your pH is okay and drop checker is showing light green, I don't see any reason to worry about it. If it is really bothering you, then open the bleeder occasionally to release all of the gases and start over. I just don't do that very often because I don't want to waste the CO2, and because as they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
