Dear Stefaan,

Yes, this looks a puzzle.
Usual values in my systems are 15308-15309, the second 15259.503192 
looks wrong.
I usually take 3s level into the core when choosing E=-6Ry.
When I have taken 3s as valence I also had the like strangeness.
If I put 3s into core the result is usual (self consistent calculations):
test1 val3s   :RTO001:   1    192.948473  15115.793018 15308.741492
test2 val3s   :RTO001:   1    144.699393  15116.823666 15261.523059
test1 core3s :RTO001:   1        6.263063  15302.654746 15308.917809
test2 core3s :RTO001:   1        5.097620  15303.863569 15308.961190

So, when 3s is in core the result looks normal. Do not know why this 
happens...

Best wishes
Lyudmila
