If they don't then one of them has a bug which should be fixed!
Do you have any examples where this is the case?

I can't imagine that the W3C, as such, will endorse another validator, but
as I said, the icon is meant to signify that the document follows a
specific standard and not that it passes a particular validator.
I can't in any way, shape or form speak for the W3C, but I can't think that
they'd object to you using the icon on your pages so long as they pass
validation with a functional equivalent of the W3C Validator (which, AFAIK,
the WDG Validator is). A better question is whether they would object to
you linking the icon to the WDG rather then the W3C, but I don't really
think anyone cares.
Of course, the only way to know for sure is if Gerald (or someone else at
the W3C) jumps in here with the official word.
