IMHO the problem exists, but can only happen if the mapper ignores the 
community guidelines on imports*. That we don't do a particulary good 
job of communicating and enforcing these additional, over the basic CT 
terms,  rules (not just on imports) is not a big secret, but something 
that we can and should change going forward.

PS: essentially such an import should never get pass the community 
discussion part in the first place.
