I'm bumping this down to Medium priority because there is a workaround: if you select Import Non-Matching Records, your selected records will be used as merge targets.

Here's the full workflow:

1. Go to the MARC File Upload screen (Cataloging > MARC Batch Import/Export > Import tab).
2. Create a queue and select a record match set. Do NOT check any of the four match checkboxes.
3. Upload a file that will match multiple existing records with different match scores.
4. Click Upload. This will upload your file and populate your queue, but won't import anything yet.
5. Once your file has been uploaded, click Go to Queue.
6. Click on the link in the Matches column to view your record matches.
7. Click on the Merge Target cell for the record you want to merge. A circle with a checkmark appears, indicating that this is your merge target. (Don't use the checkboxes, they are not useful here and should probably be suppressed.)
8. Click on Return to Queue. The Matches column now shows an asterisk next to the number of matches, indicating that a match has been selected.
9. Check the checkbox for your test record and click on Import Selected Records. This will return you to the MARC File Upload form.
10. Select a merge profile and check Import Non-Matching Records.
11. The Upload button is now enabled. Click it, and your record will be imported.
12. Click on Go to Queue to see the results. The Imported As column contains a link to the overlaid record, which should be the merge target you selected in step 7.

In step 10, it should not be necessary to check Import Non-Matching Records. If I've selected merge targets, I am not importing "non-matching" records; the records have been matched manually. Vandelay should allow the import to proceed without specifying any other match-related import action, as the old Dojo UI does.
