IMAP bugs in Outlook are extremely normal, I'm afraid.

Another approach might be to take the local files in
whatever format they
are, say .PST, then look for an open-source tool for
decoding them, and then
either copy the messages into the Maildir or write a script
to upload them
via IMAP.

Yes, indeed Outlook has significant trouble in this area. 
You can often
work around the problem by limiting how many folders you
move, rather than
an entire hierarchy.  I don't know what the magic formula
is, but single
folders typically works fine.
