I just looked into this again, and I think I've got it.  In a Tomboy
method (NoteConvert.ToNoteInfo), we do some parsing of the content
area of Tomboy to extract version information and the content without
the title.  But it turns out that some Tomboy notes will say
version="", and my regular expression assumed that if the version
attribute was there, it would actually have a value assigned.  Fixing
this seems to have fixed the problem.

To confirm, look at the *.note files for the notes that show up blank,
and if they have <note-content version="" in them, then that's the
problem.

Fix should be pushed soon.
