Should this room be marked unscorable? I can kill all the golems but no score is registered.

Oddly, there are some high scores posted for this room already.

I've just played this and have the same issue. To add some further information, I was able to download the victory demos when I first entered the room (before I'd even solved it) and I still got 100% when I finished the hold.

I wonder if this room used to be high-scorable but isn't any more?

I was just playing through this hold and I figured out the issue.

Note that when you enter the room, it's white on the minimap. This is because it doesn't contain any monsters when the map begins; the golems are all produced from scripted characters.

If you leave the room when there are live golems, then you don't get a score because there are still monsters in the room. However! The room is considered cleared, so if you go back and defeat the golems, you won't get a score because the room was "cleared" when you entered it.

So in order to get a score recorded for this room, you have to defeat all the golems on your first visit on that save. Restoring to the room with the stairs should allow you to do this, since that room isn't clearable and has to be visited before this one.
