It isn't. I'm trying to decide what to do about that. I'm probably going to wrap mcelog in a script for the cron, to check that the device exists, so that the script would disable itself and send a mail. This, too, doesn't work when /dev/mcelog isn't a valid device, but then, there's not much I can do. In both cases, I think the admin *must* know, and that I must not hide the problem away from him. Should be fixed in the upcoming days.
