It sometimes happens that securities such as bonds have a "last" price, but no "date" field. I guess it is when those securities are being issued: you can order them at said price, but since the securities are not yet issued, you cannot trade them and thus they do not have a "last traded" date.

An example is 48406.PA on Yahoo Europe.

Even though Finance::Quote is able to retrieve the price quote, it flags it as a "non-success".

Perhaps the test for success should be rewritten so as to take the <last> field into account for the success test, not the <date> field.
