If you do not post the IDF, no one will know exactly what is going on.

That is one reason why I seldom response to questions without an IDF.

There are too many possibilities.

AVG only shows how the nodes are connected according to your input.

I never use anual simmulation and hourly averaged result for debugging IDF.

The result of one day weather file sizing is not the same as that from a DesignDay sizing.

I believe it was the Plant Loop Heating Demand [W](Hourly) and Plant Loop Cooling Demand [W](Hourly) that were giving odd numbers at times when the flowrate was low.

Wigs! Karen, which PlantLoop Output Variable name EXACTLY are you refering to? I'm busy with a very high profile, highly political Summer Design Day simulation at the minute, and I can't be less than 100% sure. I am looking specifically when and how much my peak Load for the plant is...we're talking in the range if Mega Joules so small mistakes = lots of money.
