It should indeed include the imported content in the page
history. What it might not be doing yet is updating the latest
revision, if the imported revisions are newer than the old ones.
Can you confirm?

I belive that an update to the current version should only be forced if that was
requested explicitely. It meight not be what is wanted.

Failing to update the current version leaves the database in an inconsistent state, with an
incorrect page_latest field.

Yes, I can. It works as expected if the imported page is newer than the existing
page.
