It would be good to know what headers got lost. 
I don't know how KMailCVT works, what does it use exactly, but here are some 
ideas:
- unzip the archives and do a manual import (in case of maildir, it should 
be just copying the mail files to a maildir folder's new or cur folder)
- create a bug report and add a small archive file that shows the problem
