There's nothing wrong with your usbpicprog, it's just normal that it 
can't verify this locations since it is not implemented in the pic and 
always reads as 0x00. I should still add some kind of mask in the 
software for which configuration bits to verify and which not. But since 
it differs for every PIC it is a lot of work to do that, so it will 
probably take a while.
You can disable the verify function for config memory in the preferences 
panel!

Nothing is broken really!

Thank you for reporting!
