It's an easy mistake to make - as I said, I've made it many times

The parsing continues on to the actual text inside the file.

This indicates that you do not have the checkbox "Read metadata only from filename" checked in Preferences|Add/Save.
Without that checked, it tries to get metadata from the contents of the txt file, with unpredictable results. Select it and try again. They all worked for me.
I've forgotten how it tries to read metadata from the contents of a text file, probably it looks for "Author:" and "Title:"
Whatever it looks for, I don't find it useful and always turn on the checkbox to get metadata only from the filename when importing txt files.
