Comment(by lloydbudd):

 I wonder if #10319 isn't being fixed at the wrong layer then, because I've
 encountered that issue more frequently with Movable Type imports, and it
 sounds like the way it was fixed won't help with other importers.

 If  the import appears to be from an old version, can you leave the old
 behaviour and phase it out at a later release? Fixing the edge case #10319
 is going to cause more headaches in the next 6 months than that bug #10319
 does. The imports I do often have > 25 authors, and in a pinch to
 investigate an issue I'll be loading the same import numerous times on
 clean installs.
