According to London Reconnections, Hackney Central/Hackney Downs is
supposed to be an OSI. But when I used it this morning, I got charged
for two different journeys: one going to Hackney Central, and another
one starting at Hackney Downs.

Any idea what could've caused this? (Apart from the usual problems of
whole Oyster fares concept being seriously flawed, of course!)

Well they do say that the reason TfL don't publish the list is that it keeps
changing. Maybe it was set up temporarily for engineering works, maybe you
took too long.

My guess is as good as yours, as they sometimes say...
