The second shot is actually an entire stop greater exposure than the first.

Sorry, I edited the post after you replied.

I realise the shutter speeds are different, but the camera's meter was on zero for both (so they must be both exposed correctly, no?)

No.

There is nothing as a correct exposure. you had a middle needle reading based on the composition within the viewfinder and the selected metering mode.

I suggest checking out  the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson from your library .
