I think that your conclusion are too early.
Maybe the problem is that auto232 cannot be trusted as Bob Hyatt said in the
past.

I do not know the reason that Junior9 lost the same opening again and again as
showed in this thread.

A program that can lose sometimes the same opening again and again cannot be
trusted and big difference in the results can be influenced by luck.

In one match it is unlucky to lose the first game in opening that it cannot
learn from it and the opponent learn and repeat the same opening and in another
game it is lucky to win the first games or to lose them in opening that it can
learn from them and the opponent get only 50% against it.

Maybe the problem is not bug in the program but simply the autoplayer that
cannot be trusted.
