Hi,
Disclaimer: I'm new to E@H and BOINC platform in general.
On 28 December 2013 my machine finished tasks [1,2] and uploaded results to server (I saw entries in log), and acquired next two tasks. However, these tasks are still marked "in progress" and no report of the results is visible.
Should I wait more (e.g, until deadline) to see results, or did something went wrong?

I'd say something went wrong. After upload the status on the tasks should change to "Completed, waiting for validation".
Your status page says you have 4 tasks "In progress", which apparently is wrong.
Hope the admins can give you more information.
Did you report those two

Did you report those two tasks after uploading them? uploading them is a simple file transfer process, while reporting them tells the server that you're completed them,
your host hasn't contacted the server since getting your two new tasks on the 27th, so they are probably still awaiting reporting.
What happens if you click in Boinc Manager 'Show all tasks'? Are they awaiting reporting?

No. They are missing there - only 2 other tasks are show.

And that's because at 20:37 UTC they were reported as completed and then validated on the server, so credit has been given. All is well.
As Claggy said it's a two step process that begins with the result file being uploaded to the server and then on the next scheduler contact the results will be reported to the server and inserted into the database. One of the reasons for this is to reduce server load as it's more work for the server to process reports of say 10 task one by one than if they are reported all at once.
At most a task will stay in the ready to report state for 24 hours after completion, usually it's less than that.
Oh, and welcome to the project! Nice to have you on board! =)

Hi
This is a frequent source of confusion. Very recently (not released yet, I guess), the behavior of BOINC was changed to shorten the time between uploading and reporting results. I think the new limit it 1 hour.
