Same here on Windows 7, so it has nothing to do with the OS.

No, not really. You can load the data alternatively with "Add vector
layer", which gives me 35 lines and 40 polygons, instead of 6 and 15
with the Vector->OSM import. Looking into the spatialite database with
spatialite GUI, I still see only 6 lines and 15 polygons, so they are
not improted into the database.

That is ok so far.

You compare to the OSM tile background. With Add vector layer I see all
lines and polygons that are fully in your download bbox.

This is a known issue, and http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8878 might adress
your problem too. Feel free to add your case there.

Unfortunately, I have no clue why the lines and
polygons are silently dropped.
