metabase log failing to report distribution name

Many CPANtesters reports are being entered into the metabase without 
their [AUTHOR/Distribution-Name] data being properly recorded.  As a 
result, the summary pages for those distributions are not being updated 
properly at fast-matrix.cpantesters.org and at matrix.cpantesters.org.

Just now I went to http://metabase.cpantesters.org/tail/log.txt and 
searched for the string '[/]'.  I got 33 matches -- reports whose 
uploader and distribution name were not recorded.  Now, it happens that 
all these reports were from '[Chris Williams (BINGOS)]', but *that* 
string was found 383 times on the page.

Moreover, I noticed this over the weekend for reports I myself had 
generated.  Type-Tiny version 2.006000 was released 3 days ago 
(https://metacpan.org/pod/Type::Tiny) and I generated some reports that 
appeared in the log file with '[/]'.  At 
http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Type-Tiny, you will be told 
"NOTE: no report for latest version 2.006000" and the most recent 
version with reports presented will be 2.005_002.  On the other hand, 
when I went just now to http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Type-Tiny, a 
matrix for reports for 2.006000 was shown but was told "Reusing old 
cached file, 2.0 days old".

Can this be investigated?  We need this information to determine whether 
certain CPAN distributions have worked around "breakage" in recent 
development versions of the core.

Thank you very much.
