One plausible reason could be a too low set "time out" time setting. With
a fail-low programs often are taking lots of times and then go over the
time-out barrier and as a result the game is terminated.

I have seen wrong result storage in ALL autoplayer platforms at times even
in my own interface which of course were corrected later. The best thing and
I always do it, is to quickly check each game. It is a pain but one should
defenitely do it as especially these games marked as "draw" are sometimes
just wrong.
