  I'm not sure, but it sounds as though you may be comparing hypothesis
tests done on the basis of Wald tests (based on estimates of curvature
of the goodness-of-fit surface) [i.e. "lsmeans" table] with those based
on explicit model comparisons (*possibly* Anova(), depending on details ...)
These can be different.

  More details would be helpful.
