Try toggling HSR (Hidden Surface Removal) in System -> Preferences -> Export options and see if that helps. I've personally found this a factor in regards to more complicated brush geometry, ie: cylinders & spheres.
You might try playing with the "Split Epsilon" values also, see this thread for suggested values.

It looks to me like you had more than a few less than perfect (optimal) CSG operations (Subtract), and/or inter-penetrating brushes, which will result in your brushes being cut up in the way in which they appear. Then when they are exported to DIF, Constructor starts dropping faces because it thinks they might be hidden or even other unknown reasons.
