This is why I have never had a problem storing exact MATE scores in the hash table, so long as they are corrected (at store time) to be "mate in N from current ply" rather than "mate in N from the root". This is also why draw scores are more problematic, since some draws are path-dependent (repetitions and 50-move draws) and we are not storing the path in the hash table, nor accounting for it (which would wreck the usefulness of the hash table anyway).
