Some tracks in imported midis are erroneously stated to have no notes

Hi there! Bit of a small annoyance/possible bug, thought I'd document it here in hopes of a fix.
So in some of the midi files I've imported into SynthFont2x64 (probably happens in 32bit version as well), some of the tracks are muted because they "have no notes" according to the program. However, that's not actually the case - when I open them in MidiEditor, Musescore etc. there are clearly notes in the tracks in question. I don't want to use Musescore for my mixing because it lacks a lot of features SynthFont has (e.g. support for program changes, pitch bend, proper volume control etc. Also the UI isn't very good haha), and MidiEditor can't export as anything other than midi, so it leaves me in a bit of a pickle.
I've attached one of the midis in question, which fails to import a good chunk of the instruments properly. If the developers of the program could have a look that'd be awesome.
