No, this is normal behavior of the software. If you look closer at your uploads, you'll see that the two sources that did not hit NEW (paw and geant321) had already binary packages in the archive with that name (provided by cernlib), while there was no mclibs binary package. Source overrides are looked up first in the binary override list, which explains the behavior you observed.
