I know this isn't a log time solution but you could try to run a live-cd from 
some distro that includes ardour and see if it works to import there, and 
transfer the import to your normal installed ardour. As a short time solution 
that would fix the import until the bug is crushed, and if it works it might 
even point in the direction that the bug is not purely ardour. Just a thought.
