That's because Profile Migration is only triggered automatically if the following two things apply:
1. No SM >= 2.0 profiles have been created yet.
2. registry.dat from SM < 2.0 is found.

Cf. <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_migration_-_SeaMonkey>

This created a whole new set of problems. I ended up losing all my
passwords (not the master password which I do never activate) that are
stored in signons.sqlite and signons3.txt that had been converted during
the first 2.x installation. Simply copying these two files over from the
corrupted folder to the new profile does not activate them, and I could
not find any instructions how to import them otherwise such as exist for
importing from one 1.x installation to another 1.x.

Strange, copying signons.sqlite should be all that's needed. If you use a Master Password (which as I understand you don't) you also need to copy the file key3.db. AFAIK the signons3.txt file is obsolete.

Can anyone help me now? I have spent several days on this frustrating
problem. Thank you in advance.

Please first check my other reply to your message that started the thread.
