fglock's method seems like one of the better ways, but here's an alternative if a filter is more desirable (good one-liner example if nothing else): 
perl -ne '++$cts{$1} && print if /^(\*{3}M|\!{3}|\@{3})/; END { while(
+my($k,$v)=each %cts){printf STDERR "Total errors for %s: %d\n", $k, $
+v;} }'

can use it with anything along the lines of (note bash syntax for redirects): 
$ONELINER somelog.txt >> dataload.errs 2> cts.txt
cat somelog.txt | $ONELINER >> dataload.errs

where "$ONELINER" represents the perl script pasted in, or an alias, or a 1 line script file w/the perl.
