Aug 18, 2020 at 21:50 comment added poncho @HenadziMatuts: well, if $e>1, \phi(q)$ are relatively prime, and $p, q$ are relatively prime, then any value $kp^2$ will have multiple preimages for the function $f(x) = x^e \bmod p^2q$; the various examples you found are of this form.
Aug 18, 2020 at 18:42 comment added Henadzi Matuts Thanks for the explanation! I'm also wondering why there are ciphertexts other then 0 which also have multiple preimages, and how the occurence of such ciphertexts could be generalized.
