That looks like a likely candidate if tasks are long enough to be 
wrapped: forward-line, which is used in quite a few planner 
functions, will end up in the middle of a task.   If this turns 
out to be the cause, you could disable wrapping just for task 
lines.  There is a variable called `fill-nobreak-predicate' that 
you can use to do that. In Emacs 22 it is a list so you could 
have:  (add-to-list
'fill-nobreak-predicate
#'(lambda ()
    (and (eq major-mode 'planner-mode)
         (save-excursion
           (goto-char (planner-line-beginning-position))
           (looking-at planner-task-regexp))))) 
            
In Emacs < 22, I think it is not a list, and you would have to do 
something like:  (add-hook
'planner-mode-hook
#'(lambda ()
    (set (make-local-variable 'fill-nobreak-predicate)
         #'(lambda ()
             (save-excursion
               (goto-char (planner-line-beginning-position))
               (looking-at planner-task-regexp))))))

It shouldn't be: planner-use-task-numbers defaults to nil.
