Comment (by Workshopshed):

 Aaron, yes the "flickering" I mentioned is the same issue you've reported.
 I've added some notes to a separate issue which I think is related to the
 problem with large blogs, it could also be the answer to the status bar
 issue. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6369#comment:8

 On a technical point, what is happening is that the pressing of the button
 starts up 2 processes. The first runs the import and the second
 periodically reads the status. The status is being passed between these
 two in the form of writing and reading a wordpress option. I was finding
 that it was not being updated into the DB so I update with a dummy value
 and then back to the actual value, this has the side effect you are
 seeing. I believe this is related to a core issue
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13480 but it may also be due to the
 size of data being stored which is the issue 6369 mentioned above.

 Does it eventually finish? How long does take to get to 1000 posts and
 6000 comments?
