two different things:
1. vm name is unique.
2. import vm cannot import an existing vm based on it's uuid (which is what this
feature is about).
i.e., if i create a vm X, export it, rename X to Y, i will still fail importing X without
'cloning' it (the cloning process is about changing uuid's of vm, disks, nics)
why import not changing ids by definition? this way only collision that might happen
is a vm.name ..., i.e 'cannot import vm.x cause vm with same name already exist'
...
