It appears KroneckerProduct doesn't work properly with SparseArrays which have a nonzero constant. Below, the end result should be "True":

In[349]:= a=SparseArray[{1->0},{2},1]
b=Normal[a];
u=KroneckerProduct[a,a]//Normal
v=KroneckerProduct[b,b]
u==v
Out[349]= SparseArray[<1>,{2},1]
Out[351]= {{0,1},{1,1}}
Out[352]= {{0,0},{0,1}}
Out[353]= False
