Yes, you are right.  But this is by design.

The 'data.csv' is just an optimization to make the
web site faster to display.  Languages that do not
make it through all values of 'n' are shown as
'failed'
in the summary view, so this behavior is what we
want.

Anyone trying to analyze data should be looking at
'ndata.csv', since it has the full set of data.
