The Yeti2022 log is corrupted due to the random event. This has been correctly detected, and is by design and policy not fixable, since logs are not allowed to rewrite their history (ensuring that they don't is very much the point of CT). That the log broke is annoying but not critical, and the consequences are very much CT working as intended.
You can argue if the software running the log should have verified that it calculated the correct thing before publishing it, but that's not a protocol concern.
