Maybe they were placed on planets where they had direct contact with Xenos and never really saw the Xenos as a threat? Maybe they were brought into a society where Chaos had deep roots and had corrupted them over time. Obviously something big had happened if they (GW) made it canon that the Emperor decreed the other Primarchs swear a vow of silence. I think that you may be on to something. In one of the HH books it mentions that the Chaos gods nurtured the infant Primarchs for a time in the warp, they kept Lorgar the longest sewing seeds of corruptions into his developing psyche. The point I'm trying to make is this:  Perhaps when the Chaos gods were slowly corrupting the other infant primarchs (yes even the loyalist primarchs were flawed by the corruption of the chaos gos) and came upon two (II, XI) that they could not easily corrupt, and just (as the galaxy's biggest joke) tossed them onto some planet such as the Aretian Technocracy where they new that the forces of the Imperium would have to wipe them out, which could be why one, at least, was never found.

Then how come Lorgar was allowed? He was raised on a theocratic world, and theocracy was a greater threat to the Imperial Truth and the Emperor's Mission than any xenos. At first, the Emperor was willing to allow xenos in the Imperium, as third-rate citizens and slaves, but he never allowed religion in any form. The Xenos were a minor threat to Imperial Dominance, Religion (in his eyes) was a threat to the survival of the Materium.
