I always felt that leaving the Entwives a mystery was supposed to help highlight the fact that the "old world" was passing away and the Age of Men was about to begin. All other races would hopelessly dwindle down to either extinction or sail West (Elves). I take the mystery of the Entwives to mean that Ents too will at some point become extinct or become more tree-ish, and that their story is also wrought with much sorrow throughout its history.
