The problem is obviously arising because you are trying to apply a hints file derived from a full conversion to conversions of only part of the repository. It shouldn't be too hard to change the code so that when the check fails, it doesn't abort but instead ignores that particular symbol hint and falls back to something like the heuristic parent chooser. If you would like to make this change yourself, I'd be happy to get you started.
