I'm afraid that's how planner works at the moment [by copying the
entry to the plan page].

When you say that the cyclic entries will grow large over time, will
they really grow large enough to cause problems?

I think it would be possible to work out a reasonably simple way to
have parts of the planner buffer, such as cyclic entries, that are
removed when the buffer is saved.

By the way, there is an e-mail list for planner, muse, and emacs-wiki:

 http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-wiki-discuss

It has a gmane gateway too: gmane.emacs.wiki.general.

I have posted this reply there too.
