Yeah, the part of "recruit_pool" messes up the algorithm, since it checks for "recruit " (notice the space there). So it shouldn't work for M2TW. You should add deliberate invalid entries in the EDB and see if that makes any difference. If it does pick up the error in M2TW, then it's cool.
I don't see a reason to recompile and upload the tool to support M2TW, since I don't have M2TW and as you stated, the M2TW logfile reports those errors already.

It is meant for those who still love modding RTW, but are annoyed by crashes caused by unit ownership errors.
