For me this import system has pretty much worked fine. The only deviation from the instructions on github I followed was copying the ImportServlet to src/org/waveprotocol/box/server/waveserver instead of to src/org/waveprotocol/box/server as the instructions list, due to the package declaration at the top of the actual file. Rather than bothering to modify the actual package line instead...
I had 2 out of 1084 waves fail to import - probably minor incompatibilities. The error message from the failures show that it tried to import as an incorrect user (namely one that didn't exist) (perhaps I was no longer in those waves 'fully' on Gwave?))
