Hi, I will look at this bug. Just know that in 2.23 (if you can go the web- api route) we also have a new importer located at /api/23/metadata, which does a much much better job at these kinds of things.

Just found in 2.23 a bug that will alter metadata during a dry run. Also, if someone come point me at the documentation for the logic for updating existing objects? Right now if a name is the same, it will alter the existing code and uid to the incoming code and uid rather than erroring out, which to me seems like a bad idea to ever edit a UID.
