I got similar issues. The problem has nothing to do with
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/OSM-import-missing-ways-td5041603.html>

The plugin makes an Overpass API call for the data. Ways that have 
points outside the bounding box might get lost because the coordinates 
of those outside nodes are not imported. If possible, load the data via 
JOSM (which always loads all points of the ways), and start with the 
second function of the plugin.

Apart from that, I doubt whether relations are imported the same way as 
osm2pgsql converts them to polygons or ways.

HTH,
