Tom,

There are all sorts of possible reasons for this, including stuff
like your map extent and the region of the file not overlapping.
Do you believe the problem is specific to tab files?  Try translating
the data to shape, and trying that directly or through OGR.

There are tricky aspects to handling auto-styling with TAB files.
But raw vector rendering should be essentially the same with
them as any format.

Best regards,
