I have always considered CallLog to be read-only. It is only a matter of
time before somebody realizes the problems inherent in it being
read-write (e.g., forging outbound phone call records) and locks it
down. I am rather surprised the core Android team hasn't locked this
down yet.

However, given your apparent symptoms, it is likely that HTC replaced
it, and equally likely that the CTS doesn't test a read-write CallLog
very much.

Probably not.
