It seems that metabase's log.txt file has incomplete distribution information: where something like "[$AUTHOR/$DIST.tar.gz]" should appear now often (about 10-20% of all log lines) there's just "[/]", that is an empty author and distribution. This means that matrix implementations which parse log.txt (fast-matrix.cpantesters.org and AFAIK matrix.perl-magpie.org) are now incomplete and may show no results for some distribution versions.

This does not affect the matrix variant which is linked from MetaCPAN (fast-matrix2.cpantesters.org) and the old (and instable) variant (matrix.cpantesters.org).

I suspect it could be connected to the recent outage of the primary CPAN server, but really don't know. @Doug and others with access to the cpantesters servers: do you have an idea?
