Could it be an AniDB client screwing the database?

AniDB Client takes the info from the DB where a file belongs and if it deems something wrong it files a creq. So I think you can rule out the client.

(I also think that it's not related to AoM)

I wonder why AJ's files aren't affected, but it's probably related to: [EDIT][ANIME][EP]Wolf's Rain

Just guessing:
Is it possible that this was caused by an open creq that was later granted after the move? The files were associated with a new ep-id after all...
(Maybe it didn't have an immediate effect, but caused some inconsitency that was discovered and "resolved" like this later.)

I suspected of a client (could be a test version, or another client, not necessarily AoM) because human filled information doesn't usually include the MD5 and SHA1 information, and I thought the direct access to the DB API that clients use instead of using the web interface might provide a chance for that kind of bug to occur.

I still think those files were entered with a client, but an wrong edition sounds like a very probable cause for the actual bug. Perhaps AJ files were moved before the change from 30 to 26 was performed, and after the change, the W-F were left in an illegal situation, that was resolved by removing the offending fields.

hm,

this is a hard one.
i fixed those two files, the prob was that they were assigned to non-existing episodes.
i guess it was most likely caused by a pending creq which was issued before a mod moved the files and granted after the move of the files.

There are still some pending problems: the number of files for those chapters is 1, and they don't show their "file in my list" icon.

Seems to work now.

Shouldn't the topic read [FIXED] instead of [OPEN] now?

changed it to ["FIXED"], bc i didn't actually solve the problem.
i've just fixed the file entries which were broken.
how they got into that state is still unknown.
