John, I think Chris has the right idea. I have a similar issue, and I have a .gcg for it.
With one tile in the bag, Expert Player lists 15 possible moves, the first of which has a 50% chance of winning - depending on which of the 8 tiles is in the bag (3 of them are E's, simplifying the scenario). Play number 5 has 0% chance. Both evaluations seem correct. But when I do a sim of #1 against #5, #5 is reported as 100% win. I've looked at the XML file, Quackle's moves don't add up to a win. So Chris' concluding sentence seems appropriate.
