When you perform a subsequent import, the global_uuid or original_uuid is what RW uses to match up the item with what is already in the database.

Thus, from your investigation, doing an export with "preserve" enabled and a second one with "preserve" disabled will generate two different sets of uuids. So then importing both into a new realm should generate duplicates of everything (since the 2nd import will not find matching uuids).

The uuids in the "<structure>" section of the file should be identical across all your various export files; since there is a single structure in your realm. I haven't specifically checked the global_uuid values, but I would hope that these are the same for any still-locked category definitions across all realms created from the same "game type" choice.
