This happens most often when the final syllable of the infinitive is
accented.

13.3 Verb ending variation
The verbs conjugated above have the most current and
accepted endings, but variations do exist. One common variation
that effects verbs of the types discussed in Sections 11.1 and 11.3 is to
replace the ending of the 1st person plural, -ём or -ом, with the
endings -ем or -эм, respectively. Another
common variation, which
effects all verbs with accented endings, replaces the final -е of the
2nd person plural with a -ё.
Although these variations do exist,
they are non-standard and should be avoided by the non-native speaker.
