I scan my old Kodachromes on a lowly Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 with Nikon software, and don't see any issues (except for long scan times with 16-bit and 16x sampling), assuming I hit the exposure within reason. These slides look very challenging - I'm not sure it is possible to recover the shadow detail, short of going back in time. If you are desperate and bored, you might try scanning different exposures and processing in Photomatix Pro. It probably won't work.
