I'm going to mark this as "Fix Released" (actually, I believe it was fixed in 13.02).
Previously there were a few circumstances in which the metadata extraction could hang, and this would hang the import.
But now we use the subprocess.check_call() *timeout* kwarg new in Python 3.3. So even if the extractor hangs, it will timeout after 3 seconds, so this should be fixed now.
