I had a task http://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/result.php?resultid=379954726 that ran to completion but was marked invalid with similar error messages.

I found an explanation from Jean.
In pretty rare cases, when an exponent is near the upper limit of the FFT length chosen by the Gwnums code, a roundoff > 0.40 error can happen (even while using a non overclocked machine), then, the 3.7 LLR version restarts from the last save file, and redoes the faulty iteration using a slower, more reliable method, so the error cannot occur again.
The validator is looking for words like error and invalid the WU. Round off errors producing most in the cases wrong results. If these are going to be valid they must be double check again.
