Yep, I think that's what happened. I'll get the badexit flag removed
from both of your relays and think about ways for improving our tests.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

(FWIW: I sent an email to the address you put into your ContactInfo. I
heard that mails for Tor Project addresses repeatedly land in spam
folders. Maybe that happened this time, too.)

Not sure what Arthur is running but I am just using what Debian ships on
the box I run the tests, which is currently 0.3.5.8. I guess it might be
worth thinking about switching away from that. Maybe tracking and using
the version Tor Browser ships is smarter?
