Comment:

 This is intended behavior.  post_exists() is the function used by the
 importer to determine if the post exists before importing it.  The
 function compares post_title, post_content and post_date and does not
 distinguish between revisions or statuses to prevent importing the same
 post multiple times.  If you move a previously imported post into the
 trash it is assumed that you do not want that post so it is not imported
 again.
