>From the gb_trees:from_orddict/1 documentation:

    "Turns an ordered list List of key-value tuples into a tree. The
list must not contain duplicate keys."

None of the failing examples you provide are of ordered lists. If you
modify your first example like so:

    1> gb_trees:lookup(6619, gb_trees:from_orddict([ {N, N} || N <-
lists:sort([6619, 1])])).
    {value,6619}

It behaves as expected for your other examples as well.

Best,
Hunter
