No score reported in best solution if no steps taken

If my initial solution guess is perfect and the solver exits before taking any steps, then solver.getBestSolution().getScore() is null. If I change my initializer so the first guess is intentionally wrong, then getScore() returns non-null.

I would prefer that getScore() would be guaranteed to always return non-null after a successful solver.solve() invocation. Clearly the score is being computed because the log messages show it (see below). But the returned solution instance does not reflect that. By debugging, I can see that the returned solution is in fact the same instance that I passed in via setPlanningProblem() and not a clone.
