PCR False Positives?

Has anyone here seen PCR false positives?

A friend of mine who is a Dr in Boston (works at a 'prestigious' university) was vaccinated in January, but tested positive last week. He has zero symptoms.

A subsequent 'instant' test was negative, so now he is positive according to the most reliable test, and negative according to the most unreliable test.

He is quarantining and will be tested again, and to see if he's carrying a variant.

Possibilities include a false positive PCR, the vaccine did not work and he's asymptomatic, vaccine worked but he's asymptomatic with a variant...

Working where he does I expect a pretty thorough investigation.
