Not sure it is related, but the problem may lie in the same code area in MiTab 
OGR driver. We had some very specific projection recognition issues with EPSG 
2154, as described here :
https://github.com/mapgears/mitab/issues/4
Some patches have been done, but there still are some troubles with projection 
recognition. Daniel intends to work on that soon.
If you can get a simple working test case using only ogr/mitab, in order to 
reproduce the problem and nail it down to mitab, it can be the right moment to 
report the bug.
If you can only reproduce it using QGIS then it may not be mitab-related.
