This appears to happen when you use the function "Apply these changes ___ to ___", under Available Changes in MOD Details.
I am using a different skin, and ran the changes for proSilver on my proSilver-based custom skin. The mod was mChat. AutoMOD reported there was one change it couldn't find, that of adding the mChat link to the menu bar. Since it was only cosmetic and I could manually do it later, I clicked Force Install. This is when I noticed the first discrepancy. In the actions completed list, it said the menu bar change had been successful, whereas the editor.js change had failed. I looked at my custom skin's editor.js, but it did have the changes made successfully while the menu bar did not have the mChat link. Scratching my head, I figured all was well.
When I looked at the proSilver skin, I discovered it had two mChat windows and two mChat links in the menu bar. It had installed twice! The reason editor.js failed was because the first install changed the code it had to find, so it couldn't find the same location again.
I checked Index.php to see if it also duplicated the changes made to the base forum system, and found that it did.
