I tried exporting an eml file from outlook. Then I renamed it (stripping the extension), and copied it into the Local Folders folder of Mozilla mail. I opened the program, but when I tried to enter the new folder, it was empty. I found that I have to manually edit the eml file, adding the following line at the beginning:
From - Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 1965
Then it works, I can see the message and move it around. And all the fields (date, subject) are correct.
Now I have to try to see if I can correct a bad message this way, and make it behave correctly...
Anyway, I think that Mozilla mail should be able to deal with long header fields, without giving these weird results...

I found out that if I export a "bad" message from OE as .eml, and then import it in Mozilla, the problem doesn't happen (the message is imported correctly). This means that the error is just in the "import" code, and does not affect the "header parsing" code. This should mean that only imported messages are affected, while new messages should be handled correctly.
