Have you tried running bin/cleanarch and then rerunning bin/arch to regenerate the messages? It's possible what you're seeing could be caused by messed up From lines in your old mbox file (used by the archiver to determine the start of messages). Mutt may just have a more forgiving parser.
Be warned, though, if you regenerate the entire archive, then the links in your archive will change (i.e. old posts that people have linked will no longer be in the same spot).
