I used "tb_usage 4", which probes TBs more agressivly than default. Just because
of the subject of the thread (the question mark), I thought a proof would be
nice (which a mate score is). With more aggressive TB probing, Yace typically
shows mate score faster in such positions. It can show the win with default
settings, too, but as you have seen, it won't show the mate score that fast. The
hash table size and some luck with the size might also play a role.

Cheers,
Dieter
