It appears that this issue was old enough and is not a result of recently added Break Even code. But exactly Break Even made it obvious.
The fix may reflect on other strategies with ambiguous bars but it heavily changes the Break Even tests.
It seams that current methods of interpolation cannot properly calculate Break Even.
Both pessimistic and optimistic methods hit Break Even if it can be activated in the same bar.
This image shows the interpolation of one bar using both methods.
And on the first position of every chart when using all the IMs, breakeven doesn't want to be activated.
I noticed and fixed this already. Thank you!

Top Image = 1 hour chart. 4 pip difference between entry and bar high.
Bottom Image = 1 min chart. 1.1 pip difference between entry and bar high.
1 pip breakeven not activated.
Thanks for the fix. 
However i noticed something strange again.
For easier understanding, i changed the opening point to bar opening, and used 1 pip breakeven.
Previous bar value ticked for OBOS MA Osc. Optimistic interpolation method used.
Notice that profitable short entries will close at bar close and is marked as ambiguous, but profitable long entries will close at breakeven and is not marked as ambiguous.
The left half are filled with ! marks. None on the right half.
Top Image with Breakeven. Bottom is without Breakeven.
The breakeven function doesn't seem to work correctly. For this strategy, i think it is more appropriate if FSB marks every bar as ambiguous.
Clew you were absolutely right.
It's the result of the backtest of the upper strategy with improved Break Even backtest:
The improved FSB version will be uploaded soon.
]]>FSB sets Break Even exit order when it is in some calculation point. In the example above FSB will set BE when it is at bar low or bar closing. At that time, the BE order will be far alway and program will execute close at the bar close. Intrabar data and scaning will help in this case.

It uses the "shortest" interpolation method all the time.
As quoted from here - http://forexsb.com/wiki/fsb/manual/interpolation_methods
"the price never goes back to a previous value. " <- false
Try putting 1 pip breakeven, and use the "nearest" interpolation method. If at bar close the position is profitable, it will close there instead even if it is further away.
This strategy can be improved if we trade it manually.
The main idea is that we don't need to close long position at bar close if we have to open long again at that time.
It's better to check the signal first and if the new trade has to be in the same direction, the exit order has to be canceled. In that way we can save one spread for these days.
What I've got all the fuses. Put file there historical bars for D1 where you tested please.

During testing new Break Even function of FSB I found very promising strategy.
It uses only one indicator - OBOS MA Oscillator and a Break Even exit.
I normalized parameters (set to 50) in order to check for over optimization and also ran Over Optimization Report. Everything looks normal for now.
Here is the Over Optimization Report Chart:
