Well, I suspect that none of us here is a freemind "expert" (I know I'm
not), with the possible exception of Lennart Borgman, the author of
org-freemind.el. So the main question is: is this a bug in freemind or
is this a bug in the org freemind export? You have not posted the org
file that produced all of this (or if you have, I cannot see it clearly
in your mail). That could help. If Lennart could be persuaded to take a
look, that might help.  And if you could be persuaded to simplify the
example (ECM = complete *minimal* example) so that it exhibits the
problem with as few nodes as possible (I count seven nodes in your .mm
file: does it need to be that complicated?), that might help.

Here is an example of an org file that produces a map that works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* foo

this
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How much do you need to complicate it to produce something that does
*not* work?
