 Priority:  high          |   Milestone:  2.7                        
Component:  Import        |     Version:  2.7                        
 Severity:  major         |    Keywords:  wxr import, tags, 2.7-beta3
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 As of upgrading to 2.7-beta3 the WXR import functionality within WP is
 broken.

 While the import appears to work correctly, when you explore the tags for
 the blog you'll see that all of the legit tags are present but not
 associated with any posts. Instead of associating the legit tags with the
 posts there's an identical number of numeric tags created that are
 associated with the posts. See the attached screenshot for what I mean as
 it's hard to explain.

 To replicate this:

 1) Install a clean installation of WP 2.7-beta3

 2) Login, create a post with some text in the title and body. Assign a few
 random tags to the post and assign the post to a new category

 3) Export the entire blog to a file, save the file

 4) Delete all the database tables for this installation

 5) Reinstall WP 2.7-beta3

 6) Login, import the WXR file you exported previously

 7) Go to manage the Tags and see with your own eyes the issue

 The WXR file exported appears to be fine, it's the import process which is
 breaking.

 I've also posted this to the forums here:
