(other than that, no idea) other than the fact that he may have an attachment to a certain character or scene. King sometimes takes characters from other books and developes them into stories of their own. i think a lot of authors do that. what you are talking about sounds different, but, it may be that Ellis himself lived that scene.. or maybe, subconsciously, doesn't realize he repeated himself. shotty editor. it is OK to plagiarize yourself though, even though it may wig out fans. it would be interesting to find out. why don’t you e-mail Ellis and ask him? you might be surprised.
