At lines 1067-1078 (at least on the R14.1.x version) there is a section about "test9", which creates the mentioned 'r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt' file if something went wrong when updating the tdemenu part.I guess this is a consequence of the 3 dialogs that appears during your login process. Check the lines 849-883: probably the errors originated there (it's difficult to say from here without further details). Even more likely it could be section 901-927. If you need more support let us know and possibly posts more details as well.
