No, that's not the problem. The two expressions (including Part)
evaluate to precisely the same thing. The problem is that the first
expression isn't an explicit function of z, to match the Plot iterator,
until it's evaluated --- and Plot holds the first argument unevaluated
until a specific iterator value is assigned.

The Part[expr,1,1,2] is z for expr:> DSolve[{y'[z] == z, y[0] == 1},
y[z], z]
and the Part[expr,1,1,2] is (2+z^2)/2 for expr:> {{y[z] -> (2 +
z^2)/2}}
so there is no wonder, that the results are differnt. Different
expressions
may have also different parts.
