That sounds like a bug that I posted a fix for a while ago.  The
relevant patch is:

--- orig/planner-multi.el
+++ mod/planner-multi.el
@@ -328,7 +328,7 @@
     ;; Map over any new pages that were not included
     (setq old-pages (mapcar 'planner-link-base 
(planner-multi-task-link-as-list info)))
