I don't know but I imagine it's a non plain mbox format, though I
didn't know it existed or corrupted??

If a standard exported file works you could open them in a text editor
and compare.

and/or

If a standard single folder export works. You may be better of exporting
all mails to a single mbox. Migrating any filters you have, I believe
there is a plugin to migrate filters from thunderbird. Create folders
and run the filtering on all of them. 


p.s. I recall there may even be a tool specifically to migrate almost
everything form thunderbird to claws but I forget the specifics.
