Did you try using the -skipfailures option?  With that option, if 
ogr2ogr encounters a feature that the target format won't accept, then 
it just skips it and moves on to the next instead of producing a fatal 
error.

Note that you may have to check the TIGER docs to find out which layers 
contain the data that you really need and just concentrate on them.
