I think this is due to the database structure (it has to know NOW what the outcome was and can't change it later), but I could be wrong.

Actually, it does, now. Before if a runner advanced to third on a bad throw and scored on a WP it would be unearned even if the next hitter hit a HR. Now, you will see 2 ER added to the pitcher's total when the solo HR is hit, in that situation.
Marcus was able to correct the vast vast majority of ER/UR errors that were plentiful pre-patch v13. There are still some that happen, but nowhere near as many as before he addressed this.
I am not saying that the OP did not see a ER scoring error here, or at other times. I am saying that they are much less frequent than before. If the OP is using v13 without the final patch, he will see more incorrect ER scorings than in v 14.
