Bug Description

ubuntu.media.mit.edu only mirrors main and restricted, not universe and multiverse, see e.g:

http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/dists/lucid/
http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/dists/natty/

However, the mirror probe claims that the mirror is up-to-date (for Lucid at least, as of the time of filing):

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ubuntu.media.mit.edu-archive

I would expect the mirror probe to notice if it's missing components (or equivalently, missing files listed in the Release file), even if the Release file is up-to-date. It would be really nice for the mirror probe to check every file, but that might be prohibitive.

Note that since this morning, ubuntu.media.mit.edu now is a CNAME for a working mirror (mirrors.mit.edu), so if you're wondering why this isn't reproducible, that's why.
