Funny, I seem to have the same problem.  Runnit the .hqx files through
mcvert or Stuffit or Downline consistently results in a CRC error.
Plunging ahead nevertheless, I unstuffed the files and mounted the images,
but found the contents to be unusable.

Bob Marley suggests checking the file headers and for other garbage, how long
does one take to page through 8+ Meg of data? Is there an easier way?
