Yes, they haven't changed because just the code to read them were buggy.

Look into the wiki: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/dev#Enabling_Debugging
You have to add the line
uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.LocationHook.level=FINE
to get all log messages from the LocationHook.

I have seen them too. The border of belgium is tagged with 
boundary=administrative, admin_level=2, name=BELGIE - BELGIQUE - BELGIEN
The name is not contained in the LocatorConfig.xml so the Locator does 
not know the 3 letter ISO code for it.
The error message is not good but it was meant only for me for debugging 
purposes.

I know that. I haven't checked that but possibly these boundary tiles 
may contain no boundary at all (sea area?!?). I have to check that later on.
