[Developers] Errors with new import system.

I was testing out the new import system by trying to import a list of 
cards and their artists for my Magic The Gathering domain.

I had already loaded the list of these cards under the old system, so 
they were all auto-merged. The problem came when I tried to do the artists.

Some of these artists are already in the system, so there were no 
problems there. It came down to the new artists. It was forcing me to 
"add new" for each and every one of them. When I finished it wanted to 
create an instance for each card-artist relation.

It would be better if it could identify that an artist with that same 
name is pending to be created, and auto-merge with that new topic.

On top of that, when I tried to finalize the import, the site threw a 
"transient error" I'm actually glad that it did, I'm going to re-do my 
list to fix this problem unless you fix things on your end before I get 
back to it tomorrow.
