Try running mutt in debug mode -- "mutt -d2", say.  If it's finding the
From_ and failing to parse it, it should report that in ~/.muttdebug0.
You may need to install a special mutt variant if you use mutt from a
packaging system.

The other reason that it might skip these messages is that a prior
message has a Content-Length: that makes the message appear to be part
of the prior.  Are you independently confident that these are indeed
separate messages?  That is, is it possible they're part of an rfc822
attachment, or that they're simply inline text in another message?

(Many mailers change "From " at the beginning of a v7 mailbox line to
">From " to prevent this, but that's not a fast rule.)

What application saved these messages to your sent/2011-06 folder?  Does
any other application use the folder, besides mutt?
