Another possibility is that the genomes are reliable, but that Genetiker's admixtures aren't. However Fire Haired emailed the lead author Iain Mathieson, who said that the admixtures looked correct.
Iain Mathieson was the lead author of another paper "8,000 years of Natural Selection in Europe". He said the SNP calls Geneticker got looked correct. I think you're right to suspect Geneticker's admixture test isn't reliable. The authors are reliable and they got Africa scores for modern Iberians but not for Ancient ones. No Neolithic or Mesolithic European genomes to date show signs of African admixture.
