[Mediawiki-l] Importing into MediaWiki namespace via XML

I'm running a couple 1.7.1 installs as bureaucrat/sysop. When I
export the following seven pages to one XML file and then import them
to a separate fresh MediaWiki install, these work:
MediaWiki:Sidebar
MediaWiki:Disclaimerpage
MediaWiki:Aboutpage
MediaWiki:Privacypage
...and these don't:
MediaWiki:Common.css
MediaWiki:Monobook.js
MediaWiki:Newarticletext
Even when I try to import them one at a time, the pages claim to have
been imported, but then nothing shows up in the page history (i.e. no
new revision is created). I can edit the wikitext for those pages
manually...just can't import.
Is there something special about those pages that prevents XML
importing? Thanks.
