Recovering vessel with science sometimes doesn't recover the science

Description
I built a science rover and drove away from the KSC until I found a location where the science experiments told me they were for "shores landed" and no longer for "KSC landed" (since I already had "KSC landed"). I gathered the experiments, then recovered the vessel, but gained no science points. Checking the R&D building I definitely had not gained any "shores landed" science experiments.
I repeated the process, but drove in a different direction to find "shores landed" (the first time I drove out around the monument next to the KSC, and the second time I drive past the end of the runway and up next to the water, but not yet in the water). The second time I was able to gain the science points and it showed up in the R&D building under "shores landed."
Separately I noticed in the R&D building that some of my EVA experiments from landed on the Mun show as having been done, but having received no data. I didn't notice at the time I recovered the vessel whether it gave me any science points for the EVAs because I had other experiments too and got science points for those.

I’ve also experienced this trying to collect science around KSC. It worked for me several times, but now after collecting science and recovering, I gain no science even in new KSC biomes.
