Comment (by Libertus):

 masquerade, abhay,

 The original patch from thomasq is correct. wpdb constructor must force a
 new database connection, otherwise imports from different databases on the
 same host with the same username and password as the main WP database will
 fail.

 The problem is not where $this->dbh is used. The problem is that
 $this->dbh on two supposedly independent wpdb objects are references to
 the same underlying database connection object, making wpdb::select()
 change the active database for all of them, including the global $wpdb,
 which side-effect causes the failure.
