I ran into a very similar problem recently importing some other data. 
Ogr2ogr always seems to need a lot of help before it does the right thing...

IIRC, I had to indeed specify the geometry type, something like -nlt 
MULTIPOLYGON, and I think I also had to add -nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI option 
since the data was a mix of single and multi features, and also 
-forceNullable (but that's probably not applicable in your case).
