Comment (by Workshopshed):

 In the last version I made a change to the way the meta data is stored.
 Which would have caused a problem for that other plugin as it was using
 "blogger_permalink". Looking at the code it also broke the link processing
 which was also expecting the old blogger urls to be in the
 blogger_permalink meta data.

 What I do for my sites is to use that meta data and import it into the
 "redirection" plugin so that anyone who's linked an old URL will get
 directed across to the new location. My scripts also rely on the correct
 data being stored in "blogger_permalink".

 So I've corrected the importer to store the permalinks as it did before.

 To answer your other question, to disable the processing of links find a
 couple of lines around 380 in the function import_blog in the file
 blogger-import.php and comment them out.

 {{{
             if (!$this->process_links())
                 self::ajax_die('continue');
 }}}
