This is the same thing that may be happening in the "Ottoman" E-Cat: water gurgling out, and some steam. The assumption of complete vaporization cannot be relied upon, and is actually contradicted by the measurements. This is why your "Method 2" for the October 6th test was unuseable.
I agree there may have been some liquid flowing through at times, but Lewan performed Method 2 after a very large burst of heat, and he found the flow rate was much lower than the flow rate going into the reactor. Therefore the reactor water level was low and the vessel was filling up. All of the water coming out of the heat exchanger hose at that time was condensed from steam.
I think you are right that at other times there may have been a mixture. If they had measured the flow rate constantly with two precision flow meters (for the inlet and outlet) they might have found something like that, where the overall flow coming out was higher than the flow coming in.
