Is it a common practice to do such a detailed trace like that?
You may be asking it to do a little too much.
Was the trace "expanded" after the tracing was done?
There are a few settings you can alter to see if it gives you the results you need, I've played with them on occasion and tweaked a few and got it to work better, but I haven't done one that has the complexity of what you show here. I have also had to go into photoshop and made some moves to the original raster image in order to get it to trace better, like up the contrast, sharpen it up a bit and so on.

just curious, why did you trace the image when you could have used the photoshop file?
