I once had something similar. I opened the file as a regular file with
C-x C-f (find-file), after closing the mailbox. I looked for the message
following the last one that was properly displayed and found something
fishy in the headers (probably the X-VM-v5-Data: stuff). After manually
repairing it the whole mailbox was again visible. I think that you also
can delete that whole header and VM will reconstruct it when you reopen
the mailbox.
