As I recall, yoghurt is supposed to have no lactose -- eaten up by the
organisms.  It is famous for being ok for lactose-intolerant people.  You
must be using a yoghurt that is still mostly fresh milk (like the most
common commercial stuff available here in USA), not yet fermented enough to
be sour and lactose-free.

But buttermilk would have varying amounts of lactose, depending in part on
whether cultured or not.  So I'd guess you're using a cultured buttermilk,
perhaps one of the more sour, longer fermented ones.
