Extract of MusicXML for the first three chords in measure 11:
<harmony print-frame="no">
<root>
<root-step>C</root-step>
</root>
<kind></kind>
</harmony>
<harmony print-frame="no">
<root>
<root-step>E</root-step>
</root>
<kind use-symbols="yes">minor</kind>
<offset>4</offset>
</harmony>
<harmony print-frame="no">
<root>
<root-step>A</root-step>
<root-alter>1</root-alter>
</root>
<kind use-symbols="yes">diminished-seventh</kind>
<offset>8</offset>
</harmony>The problem is that the <offset> elements are ignored in the MusicXML-to-MEI converter. These will need to be used to calculate @tstamp on the <harm> labels in MEI. The offset values are in tick units related to the <divisions> portion of <attributes> for the part. In this case divisions = 4, so offset=4 is a quarter note offset from beat 1 (so beat 2), and offset=8 is a half note offset from beat 1 (so beat 3).
Extracted measures 10 and 11 from example:

When importing from MusicXML, all harmony indication that is not directly belonging to a note is put to the previous note. This might overstrike an existing harmony.
See following screenshot which shows measure 11 + 12 from "Moonlight Sonata Jazz Lead Sheet" rendered by Verovio:
