Even with a 1 gph pump you won't get this...
If the pump is real weak, and it won't give pressure inside the WW, you might get an uneven dividing of flow, but that is in that case a design/manufacturing mistake.

If I'm correct (has been 20 years ago since I had this stuff) we are dealing with the law of Pascal.
<<Pressure is the same in all directions.>>
This also goes for the two outlets of the WW.
Any difference in the pressure is a design mistake, letting the Jet pushing more water to one side.

You will only see it more clearly with less waterflow
Yes, the pressure would be equal, so the route with greater restriction would have reduced flow. It's just like electronics....voltage (pressure) is constant, but current (flow volume) varies according to resistance (restriction).

I'm not sure whether unbalanced flow would signifigantly effect performance (due to the jet design). Cather should be able to say, though.
