Error in Puzzle!

I've done hundreds of puzzles and this is the first error I've seen:

The last move Ke3 was marked as wrong, but it wins (along with the more natural Ke2 which is marked as correct). The problem is that the computer doesn't see far enough to see that it wins! But if you play stockfish as white you will win with natural moves.

Can people please confirm?

it looks like Ke3 is losing because black wins the race (or rather, ties late but with check and some pawns) where Ke2, after Kg4, there's Kf1 so black loses the race.

Ahh, thank you! The engine didn't play this line when I tried it earlier!
