Comment:

 And I see that I spoke too soon. It does create the users. The disconnect
 relates to Ticket #15275, and which based on the current behaviour seems
 like more of a bug than a enhancement now.

 "Import author Display Name or map to existing user [menu]" gives no
 indication about what user it is going to try to create, nor any feedback
 on what users it did create or what implicit mapping it went with (#15274)

 This is particularly confusing if that display name is the Display Name of
 someone else, or the Username seems to have nothing to do with the other
 username.

 It's not an uncommon scenario for me to be merging sites for customers,
 and the current behaviour would cause me 1st rate headaches.
