As to whether they are really installed properly, and nothing failed during the process, is what I am worrying about.
If the MOD does not get installed, you will see a different error message than you are. By the time EM is updating the EM tables, the MOD script has already been successfully applied to your board code. The logging of what files were modified is one of the last steps that EM has to do. The missing logs don't adversely affect the code that was modified. It might cause a problem if/when you ever want to Restore the EM Backups though. I'm not sure whether or not EM uses the records in the phpbb_easymod_processed_files table when restoring the files stored in your backups folders. I hope it doesn't because that would be totally unnecessary...

I would assume this is a bug in EasyMOD.
You are free to make that assumption, but it isn't likely to be true. It would amaze me that after all this time and after all the sites that EM has been successfully installed on and is working fine, that you would uncover a bug that hasn't affected anyone else...
The more likely explanation is that there is a problem on your server or in a setting. You may have a corrupt table, corrupt file, and/or permissions problem. You should check the database user permissions in your CPanel to make sure it has FULL Privileges to your database. I don't know if phpMyAdmin has a utility to test and correct any database/table corruptions, but you should check to make sure...
I use MySql-Front to correct corrupt tables. I also installed the Optimize Database MOD to keep the tables running at their best. You can also install the DB_Maintenance MOD, which provides a wide range of functionality that you can use to maintain and repair your database. I couldn't find this in the
phpBB MOD Database, so I'm not sure where it came from. So I made it available on my site for download. Just download the DB_Maintenance.zip found in the downloads/phpBB/MODs/Admin section:
