The two hives you attached seem OK to me.  hivexml appears to process
both files just fine.  What error/etc am I looking for?

There are only two bugs in hivex concerning the handling of hives that
I am aware of (one is a bug in ReactOS, the other is more serious):

- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717583
  hivex fails to parse W2K3 x64 hive, returning ENOTSUP because ri-record offset does not point to lf/lh

- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=709327
  hivex cannot read registry hives from ReactOS

To file bugs against hivex, go here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?component=hivex&product=Fedora

Include all relevant details, preferably attaching a hive which
demonstrates the failure, and instructions on how to easily reproduce
the failure.

Rich.
