This issue has been resolved.
It appears after getting a high enough score the hub displays it in scientific notation:

The bigger issue here is that the used to (and may still) treat that score as a text string next time it grabs it from the hub, chopping off the e+006 part and interpreting it as a score of 1.88696, meaning that Total Score resets after this point.
In response to IainPeregrine
Scores are retrieved as a parameter list, so it's true that the numbers are initially stored as text. However, text2num() seems to properly handle scientific notation, so it shouldn't be an issue.

What I'm not sure about is whether or not simply using num2text() on the score when submitting it will be enough to get the hub to display the value in normal decimal notation. I'll have to do some tests...

Yep, it works. This will be fixed in the next release.
