Comment:

 Turns out that I don't have to go full OAuth to fix this, just to modify
 which feed it uses slightly.

 I made a slight modification to the trunk version of the blogger-importer
 plugin that will eliminate this problem.

 Code here: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/blogger-importer/trunk/
 Changeset here: http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/394622

 Needs more testing before general release, however it works for me on a
 test blog.

 I'm working on a more fully fledged adjustment to this, as the code has
 become a bit dated. Google no longer supports AuthSub fully, and they
 recommend OAuth instead. Also, the XML parsing routines used here are
 strange when we have a fully fledged Atom parser in the core now
 (SimplePie). So I'm making a new version to use these instead, however,
 this interim fix should solve this interim problem for now.

 Please test.
