My tried and true method is a hybrid-little bit of adb and a little bit of a file explorer.
I use adb to mount system as writable then copy/paste into System/app with Android Mate. Very rarely have issues.
Worked fine for Sprint Nav.

I dont think the restore of apps and system did this but what else could it be. On the SD images(DCIM folder empty) are the only things missing. I have other files on here that are fine.
Acutally I WOULD blame the system restore. The more changes OMJ makes the less you want to bring in the old systems files. He made big changes for 4.5 so I'm willing to bet if you do the same setup and restore only apps you'll be good.
Like OMJ said-I only restore a select few things besides apps-bookmarks and non-gmail email. That's it.
