Follow-up Comment #2:

Thanks for this bug report and your analysis.

Rather than "Hubert_100_social_training_run.kml" you supplied
"KoziClassic.kml" but that also gives some insight :-)

That KoziClassic.kml file shows that many more nodes can have an id tag; e.g.,
the Point, LineString and Polygon subnodes. So the regexp format strings will
have to be adapted a bit more than you suggest.
I provisionally fixed the latter issue by omitting the last ">" from the
regexp format strings because the id tags can have arbitrary length and
consequently, that last ">" could fall of the substring selected in the regexp
call anyway.

A first draft of a kmlread.m fixed for the id tags is attached, please try.

Can you still upload that Hubert_100_social_training_run.kml? than I can look
into the missing "name" subnodes as well.
