Import facility does not handle many2many records correctly

[James Jesudason]

The import from CSV facility is not handling many2many records correctly. To test:

1. In install the accounts module.
2. Use the export CSV wizard to generate an export file, include the 'Entries/Account' field.
3. Try and use the exported CSV to import into the system.

Expected result: should import the records correctly.
Actual result: generates an error that indicates that it cannot find the account record.

Having traced what is happening, I tracked down the problem to the field detection. When it comes to the account.move.line account field (line_id/account_id) it searches the account.move.line model, looking at the 'name' column. This is incorrect. It should be searching the account.account record, looking at the 'name' field.

It has looked at the model of the 'line_id' part of the field (account.move.line), but not recognised that 'account_id' is a many2one field - thus it should look at the model of the 'account_id' field (account.account) and search for that.
