I suggest you to try to launch the utility ogrinfo on each file .TAB
to see if OGR reports any error.

ogrinfo is an utility build on top of OGR lib that try to open the
file and reports some info on it.
If the file has some problems (or OGR has some problems with that
particular file) there is the probability to found it in this way.

It would be useful to use the same version of OGR of mapguide, which
is ancient 1.6.0, if I remember correctly.

If you don't have the possibility to launch ogrinfo, you may also try
with a desktop GIS program that uses OGR lib, such as QGIS.
If it is able to open and display correctly all the file, they works with OGR.

If OGR reports no errors on all files, then the problem may be on OGR
Provider or Mapguide,
