That is a typical result when the quiescence search is too big. With the help of
its extensions, even the standard version of your algorithm manages to detect
most of the problems that verified null-move is meant to detect. So the
verification search is just a waste of time in this case (and since your test
was conducted in a fixed time per position, this waste of time didn't enable the
verified version to reach deeper and detect what the other version did).

Solution:

By shifting to a far simpler quiescence search, you will get about the same
tactical strength as you get currently (since this time, verified null-move will
detect the problems, instead of your immense quiescence), but will end up with a
significantly smaller search tree.

The quiescence search of Genesis which I conducted the tests on, consisted of
only captures/recaptures.
