With the attached mbox file I cannot reproduce the problem. I did:
emacs -Q
C-u M-x rmail RET RMAIN RET
and was presented with the last email message in the mbox file, with
no errors.
So I wonder what went wrong in your case. Maybe the problem is in the
version of movemail you are using? Can you try repeating the steps I
did above, instead of going through Tools->Read mail ?
