The modified colouring logic is done on filedates, have a look at
CVSExplorers.cvsFileLocallyModified.
Turns out with some versions of cvs the file date is sometimes not 
written with a zero padded day.
I've updated CVSExplorer.py

After the CVS Process dialog possibly two other dialogs should be 
shown, the first the response on stderr shown as an warning dialog.
Second the results of the cvs operation (stdout) shown in a 
wxScrolledMessageDialog.

Your dialogs are not showing for some reason.

It is expected for the CVS progress dialog to close when finished.
As a temporary measure you may turn off auto closing.

In CVSExplorer.CVSController.doCvsCmd, add the following named arg:

CVSPD = ProcessProgressDlg.ProcessProgressDlg(self.list, cmd, 
   'CVS progress...', autoClose = false)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
