On puzzle 1260, I noticed a couple of usually reliable recipes were unexpectedly accepting losses.

In the course of trying to debug the problems, I noticed that my test solution had some unusual features in the scoring department. The pose has been shared with scientists as "scoring inconsistencies".

In this solution, the values returned by recentbest.GetEnergyScore and absolutebest.GetEnergy score do not match the values returned by current.GetEnergyScore when these poses are loaded by recentbest.Restore and absolutebest.Restore.

The recipe Score Checker 1.0 reports the GetEnergyScore values with and without filters for current, recentbest, creditbest, and absolutebest. For the latter three poses, the recipe calls the Restore function and compares the resulting current.GetEnergyScore to the one reported for the pose.

(The recipe also checks to see if absolutebest is indeed the best. A red herring, no issues after absolutebest.Restore is called.)

The recipe output for the solution in question in shown below. In this example, recentbest.GetEnergyScore reports 10316, which unfortunately is above my best real score. Calling recentbest.Restore reveals the score to be 10016, including a filter bonus of 510. It's interesting that the discrepancy is 300 points, since this is also the max filter bonus of 810 minus 510. This solution has never reached the 810 bonus, so it's not clear that the 300 points is meaningful

The same discrepancy appears for absolutebest.

When I share the solution and open it on another client, recentbest and absolutebest still show discrepancies, but now the score they both report is 10296.23, and they load as 10096.23. On the first client, the filter bonus for these poses was 510, but it's 610 on the new client.

This seems a bit familiar, perhaps related to cases where a client reports a high score that can't be loaded or shared.
