All, Just to close this topic.... Randy's analysis was correct. The 30 missing QSOs were records that had already been confirmed within DX4Win, and which the other station had resubmitted to LoTW.
Paul was kind enough to dissect my log and confirm that this diagnosis. He said that he will modify the import routine to report these types of situations to the user.
