Adjacent (hot-water) baseboard heating registers — one hot, one not in the same room. How’s this possible?

Hot Water System FAQ:
I am certain the hot water makes a complete loop and there’s no air in the system (pipes). I know because I feel the very hot water leaving the boiler and feel the somewhat cooler water returning into the boiler. Yet, improbable as it sounds: at two separate, ajacent and perpindicular heat registers (one 10′, one 6′), in two seperate rooms and on the same heating loop, I have this problem. I suspect some type of blockage but the loop is completed.Before I call in a Pro, I’d like to have an ideal of what’s going on. I the meantime I’ve raised the thermostat. Lastly, this is a 4 year old house and I believe this condition has existed since it was built.
