Hi Folks, I need to clarify that this happened to us when we first started using Koha in 2008 and 2009. I can't say whether this problem still happens because we don't revert files using the record import tool anymore. We got burned back then and have never had interest in seeing if the problem persists.
Perhaps someone with a nice safe test system could try reverting an imported batch where they know some items are checked out and see what happens?
