This version imports Finland.osm dataset OK.  There are slight differencies in the number of features imported by this and Artem's version:
 
Old
points: 24578
lines: 97223
polygons: 48305

New
points: 23680
lines: 96889
polygons: 50316

I will do cross check later by selecting features imported by the old but not with the new and vice versa.
