This is indeed strange! I've tested this position with the latest
version of Nimzo98 (I think it is the one which is participating) and
with an older version, but both versions play Kb2-c2 after a few seconds
(on a P100 with 1 MB hash tables!) and this move is getting a better
evaluation with every ply.

Best wishes
