personal purim

There is a din that if one experiences a personal miracle of some sort, one should make a day of celebration, a personal Purim, and commemorate it every year.  If the miracle occurred in a regular year in Adar, which Adar should it be celebrated in during a leap year?  There seems to be a blatant stira in Mishne Beurah.

ומי שנעשה לו נס באדר ונדר לעשות פורים כשיבוא שנת העיבור צריך לעשות הפורים באדר שני:

Yet the MB writes in 697:2 writes:

מי שאירע לו נס באדר וקבל ע"ע לעשות תמיד יום משתה ושמחה אם אירע בשנה פשוטה עושה בראשון

  1. The language is different. The first says "neder" and then second is "took upon himself" which might imply less force than a neder.
    I looked it up in the Dirshu edition and was disappointed. All it says there is "Hey, yeah, there's a contradiction." The Shaar HaTziyyun gives different references for each opinion too.
