Quoting Big Brother ignorance.is.strength@gmail.com:
Here's another strange symptom.
On the Drupal logs it says that these emails have indeed been sent out. Whether true or now, Drupal thinks that these password recovery emails are being sent. They didn't fail the mail() function (I think that's what handles it, but you get my point).
On first thought this led me to believe that something was wrong with my mail servers. But this doesn't make sense as users who were created under a "normal" process can still reset their passwords via email password recovery.
I just wanted to throw some more info into the field in case it helps.
We still need to know:
What modules do you have installed on the new system that might affect the user or the user profile?
Also, how did you import the users? And make sure that the {users}->mail column doesn't contain extra white space (including a \r).
