The way OMF stores item positions (distance to previous item instead of absolute position) is quite vulnerable to cumulative rounding errors. There is a good chance that every item on a track adds a drift of 2 frames if the developer of the exporter application doesn't watch out.
That is almost certainly what is going on with mine. They are all exported from FinalCut and are 23.976 frame rate which makes the resolution 24 frames/1.001 seconds so it's easy to see how interpretation becomes difficult.

I'll compare an omf unpacked by your filter with the same one unpacked by EDL Convert Pro and report back here.
