    After importing private keys, the client shows the wrong date for past transactions by that key. They will show the import-date instead of the real date they took place.

    AFAIK this is a known problem or at least "how it works".

    Yes, but I couldn't find a duplicate issue for it. In principle nowadays we store three dates for a transaction. The creation date, the block chain date, and a "smart date" that's sometimes the one sometimes the other. Not sure which one -qt shows actually.

    This appears closeable, or at least not reproducible. In 0.8.6 Win32, transactions (from 2012) indicate the correct block timestamp after the address is imported.
