On a Mac, latest patch:

I normally scout using the scouting buttons along the bottom of the screen (and not via the scouting tasklists). I have noticed the following behaviour when scouting an organization, a player, and the draft pool- these are the only tasks I've tested:

-if I assign a task to a scout, the scout then completes the task, and then I assign the same task to the scout to complete again, I receive a message '[draft pool/player/org'n] is already being scouted by [scout name]!' This will occur even with draft pools separated by one year; as long as I haven't assigned the scout to a different task in the intervening time, the game will think he's still scouting the draft pool, even though he completed the task 11 months previous.

Of course, it's only a minor inconvenience; I can assign the scout to a new short-term task (e.g. scouting a random player), and then re-assign him to the draft pool or whatever. The behaviour is consistent and repeatable, in several fictional MLB style leagues. I haven't seen the issue reported here, which makes me wonder if it occurs in others' games.
