Comment (by here):

 Of note, the rewritten WordPress Importer will no longer be updating the
 guid to match the target.

 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/18/wordpress-importer-redux/

 "... Removing the GUID change means we can easily check if an attachment
 has been imported already. The downside is that plugins still using the
 GUID may break; this needs to be fixed in the plugins in question, as the
 GUID is already an unreliable reference to the image."
