Weird stockfish behavior

In the following game: lichess.org/sjU4QhsV/black#79

To reproduce the weird behavior:
for move 39 for black play rook d2.

Stockfish recomments for black to respond with 39: Rxd2+ and it is promising mate in 36.

However if instead you play 39 Rook a1+
Blacks only move is Kc2.
Then for white you play Rook a2+ it becomes a mate in 9.

Why is Stockfish recommending the incorrect move?

39. Rd2 Ra1+
40. Kc2 Ra2

Just turn on Infinite Analysis, Stockfish hadn't finished his mate search
