Not to that extend.

The only non-migrated folders I came across so far have
been originally created using FTP/WebDAV uploads.

They aren't found by the catalog query which figures
out what to migrate as they were never really fully
created (or at least not in the right way).

What was helping me to fix this was to access them
(after migration) from a debug session, calling

site.portal_types['CMF Folder']._finishConstruction(<borked-folder-obj>)

on all of them and then repeating the type migration.
And don't forget to commit the transaction before
closing the debug session or the changes won't be
persisted:

   import transaction; transaction.commit()
