You're likely to be more right than you know.
I am betting that in "paradox" cases like this, the animal is actually the ultimate functional expression of "conjoined twins" - so thoroughly conjoined that you can't separate one from the other. This is called a Chimera. If two embryos stick together early enough in development (around the eight to sixteen cell stage) they grow as one single organism, with "patches" coming from each embryo. It's quite possibly more common than we think - but a Chimera that had two albino sets of cells wouldn't look any different to a standard albino; it's only when you get two very different genetic types that you get the patchy-splotchy effect. This does have one downside, though - chances are, this animal will breed as one gene type OR the other, not both... so there's an even chance that the gonads are a "patch" of Normal instead of a "patch" of Albino.
