<div>I have added all relevant planning variables as parameters

<br>
Could the following theory be an explanation for this issue? <br>
<br>
My dataset is not that big (not small either).<br>
Could it be that a certain move is taken twice within the same
step (as part of score trap?) which results in the same
constraint occurrence?<br>
</div>
</div>

No, the same move twice in the same step should not cause any
trouble.<br>
If you can prove this causes the score corruption, it's a bug in
Drools Expert.<br>
There have been a bunch of bugfixes in drools, so try drools (-core,
-compiler, knowledge-api, mvel, ...) 5.5.0-SNAPSHOT:<br>

If that doesn't help, paste the rule.<br>

I have one other question - maybe related:<br>
In my configuration I have this:<br>
<br>
<acceptor><br>
<planningEntityTabuSize>7</planningEntityTabuSize>
<!-- I tested with lower values (5, 3) too --><br>
</acceptor><br>
<forager><br>
<pickEarlyType>FIRST_BEST_SCORE_IMPROVING</pickEarlyType><br>
<minimalAcceptedSelection>1000</minimalAcceptedSelection><br>
</forager><br>
<br>
Because of the forager configuration a step is sometimes taken
after as little as 40 moves, but sometimes the number of moves
grows to enormous amounts.<br>
I think if that happens that the score is no longer improving.<br>
Is it "normal" that a certain step can make +50k moves and
counting?<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
you're set at 1k minimalAcceptedSelection, so 50k is a lot indeed.<br>
This is probably because the planningEntityTabuSize is to high
compared to the number of entity's in your dataset.<br>
There's a jira for making planningEntityTabuSize automatically
adjust itself based on the entity size (which would solve this).<br>
Or it could also be because the number of possible moves (entity
size * value size) is near 1k.<br>

<div>Or does indicate once more to a score trap?<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
No. It indicates that planner's config should scale down
automatically.<br>
How many entity's and values do you have?<br>
