I have working, tested code sitting around to make a pull request to add renaming to the import process. If Tony or someone else doesn't get around to it before I do that, I can take a look at this as well. It's a pragmatic request. I would want to be able to easily toggle shadow tiddlers as well.
(On a different note I really want to revamp that entire Import UI..... well, not just the UI but the entire import process).
