 After the most recent update, imports using the WordPress Importer appear
 to be broken. Specifically, I've seen this with post imports.

 This happens on even a clean install with the default theme and no plugins
 activated.

 The .xml files are well under 1mb. I tried on a fresh WP installation
 after the first set of failures. I then tried an export from a third site
 to make sure the issue wasn't with the site the initial export came from,
 and this second export also failed to import onto the fresh installation.
 I then tried to import these into a completely separate unused WP
 installation that was recently updated to the latest WP version, and those
 also failed.

 It appears to import the first post before failing. This happens
 regardless of the import file, so it's not the same post and therefore not
 anything in a particular post causing the issue.

 The import fails whether or not you try to import attachments, and it
 fails whether you try to create a new user or assign the posts to an
 existing user.

 Error message:

 "There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site
 admin email inbox for instructions."

 But no emails are sent to the admin email address.
