  A simplified test of universality in Lattice QCD is performed by analytically
evaluating the continuous Euclidean time limits of various lattice fermion
determinants, both with and without a Wilson term to lift the fermion doubling
on the Euclidean time axis, and comparing them with each other and with the
zeta-regularised fermion determinant in the continuous time--lattice space
setting. The determinant relations expected from universality considerations
are found to be violated by a certain gauge field-dependent factor, i.e. we
uncover a "universality anomaly". The physical significance, or lack thereof,
of this factor is a delicate question which remains to be settled.
