How did you verify this? Via the scheduler logfile enabled with
"MONITOR=1" in the scheduler configuration?

I my case restarting the master obviously doesn't help. Jobs still get
reservations on one single PE only, if one uses wildcards in the PE
name. Maybe this is even another problem than yours ... If a job
explicitly requests a single PE without wildcards, everything is
reserved correctly again for this single job - the rest still
suffers ... :-(

Cheers,
Andreas

PS: where should I put my debugging information best so that they can be
used to finally solve this bug?
