Auto meridian flip didn't happen. PHD2 says pulse guide for EQ6 not working

Without looking at your log, it sounds like your mount and SGP where not in agreement on when to flip. I would suggest you not have the auto flip set so close to the meridian time to avoid the issue. Try say 10 or 15 minutes after the meridian. SGP has a very concrete idea of when the meridian occurs based on information from the mount. Depending on the mount, SGP can sometimes command the mount to flip but for other mounts it just sends a slew command and depends on the mount to get it right. It sounds like the later was your situation. If you use a longer time after the meridian, the issue generally does not arise. Neither the mount nor SGP is wrong - it is just two different pieces of software that are not precisely coordinated.
