These messages are not coming from git-cvsimport, but rather from cvsps, which cvsimport uses to generate whole patchsets from the CVS data. Just running "cvsps ." results in similar errors, and I don't see an obvious way to do what you want. So probably it would require a patch to cvsps to fix.
If this is a one-shot import, you can try a few different things.
As a hack, if you can move files in the CVS repository (and if you can't, try using cvssuck or similar to pull them locally, and then do the import from there), then move everything to a submodule "foo", and import that module.
Alternatively, you might check out some of the alternative importers like parsecvs or cvs2git. I don't know if they would handle this situation better.
And as a super-hacky alternative, you could import each module separately and then stich them all together using git-filter-branch.
