Import is an unsolved issue indeed. It works about half-way. I'm afraid it's not easy to make it work right, but I think it's worth a look.
Yeah. Thanks Katie for investigating. This is much less of a pressing issue than I initially thought.
On big problem are IDs. What to do if the item's ID is taken? Also, all the properties used by the item are going to have wrong IDs...
Yes. In the item in question you could also see statements with completely missing properties but existing values (presumably because the property didn't exist) and statements where the datatype of property and value didn't match (presumably those where the property ID exists but is taken by a completely different property). This is all very messy and I think we should declare this wontfix until someone comes up with an actual real-world case where it's needed.
