Actually I know that is not the case, because I do have one game where I resigned in the way you say--thought I made a blunder and decided to resign without waiting for the opponent to move. The timestamps are in fact different.
Maybe if you make a move on the board, and resign at the same time, the move isn't recorded.

Originally posted by c99uxOn page one are examples of games where a user DID make a move and resigned. How does that happen?

That still doesn't explain since the user says time stamps match
From Page One:

Here are the three most recent I have seen:
Game 3988121
Game 3988122
Game 4312765
On these, the 'Last move' time on the summary page is the exact same time as the time of the last move in the game log, which makes me think the move was submitted along with the resignation.
With a normal resignation, the 'Last move' time in the summary is different than the time of the last move in the game log (since it's the time the resignation, by itself, was made).

Originally posted by PhlabibitOnce I made a move. I discovered it was very bad one, and moreover a losing one, just a second after I hit the submit button. So I resigned it immediately.

If I did this within the same minute, then it would seem that I resign at the same time I delivered the move.

Must be the answer, since it seems to be the only logical one.

Originally posted by incandenzaI move when I resign because it puts me one move closer to my rotating star.
If you're reading this, you may already be aware that you don't have to submit a move when you resign. But it seems like a lot of people don't know this. They want to resign so they make some pointless move at the same time, maybe because you have to press the 'Submit move' button so it seems logical that you would have to make a move.
My suggestion ...[text shortened]... t", etc. just add a note that says "You can resign without making a move on the board."

Originally posted by slappy115So are you saying the moves are recorded if you submit them at the same time you resign? Or you deliberately make the move first and then resign separately?
I move when I resign because it puts me one move closer to my rotating star.
Actually that could be an explanation for this phenomenon--maybe people do deliberately submit the move separately just to increase their move count. Thanks--that didn't occur to me (or, so it seems, to the other respondents).
As I've seen, there are some players who seem to do this every single time, so maybe that's what they're up to.
