Probably not. Please raise a bug against bzr-fastimport and I'll take
a look real soon now. If you can, try isolating the problem down to
a small number of revisions and upload the fast-import data stream
(compressed) as an attachment.

I've put a lot of work into fast-import lately to make it support
the pending new format because:

1. the old algorithm made assumptions that no longer hold true
   (e.g. inventories can longer be mutated in place)

2. Everyone will *love* the new format and want to migrate to
   Bazaar so fast-import better work for them!

The downside is that I've broken a few edge cases from working
by the sound of things, if they ever worked originally.
