On a series I recently worked on they had similar problems with ama links. The Cannon 5D footage worked pretty well but the go pro footage would not mount through ama volume and the solution was what you found. The go pro footage had to be linked by ama file not volume. I don't know what causes the issue but that's what the AEs did to get the footage in for online.

But, the footage actually belongs to my student, whose classmates have reported this problem with other file based media shot on various cameras. The Sony NX70 names its clips numerically, making it easy to spot the missing ones, but the P2 naming convention is more difficult to parse. And these are documentary students — so it's not always immediately obvious that footage is missing from the transcoded material. It's a problem.
