Ooh yes. Do we need to wait on single login for that to be a reasonable thing to do? I understand a dev also has to explicitly allow transwiki to move histories, though I'm not at all clear on the details.
As far as I know, Special:Import won't handle moving images in the correct manner. Mind you, I've not been keeping 100% up to date with what's developed lately, so I may well be wrong.
Special:Export and Special:Import do not handle images at this time. There's some specs for it in the XML format but currently it's only used by the OAI feed system.

I think Gmaxwell? is working on something for mass moves but that was more to do with moveing across deleted histories.
