Now I'm worried about whether the content I've spent the last several hours exporting is going to be right.

I'll be using this export to populate a new Satellite server and will report what I find later.

Seems to have imported just fine.  I guess this was transient, probably not a huge deal.  I've grepped for that string throughout the entire /var directory structure and can't find it, so I don't know if it can be reproduced.

Probably best to close this as NOTABUG.
