You got it there: MITAB can read the spatial index no problem, but the 
current implementation doesn't always generate a balanced spatial index 
(tree)... actually it doesn't contain any smarts to keep the tree 
balanced, which results in the behaviors that you noticed. There may 
even be some TODO comments in the code to that effect.
