Definitely a problem with the DXF importer I would say as the resulting 
data in the PCB file are just  straight line segments:

  (gr_line (start 42.68541 28.017695) (end 52.25 35.66) (layer 
Edge.Cuts) (width 0.1))
  (gr_line (start 27.328145 43.265288) (end 42.68541 28.017695) (layer 
Edge.Cuts) (width 0.1))
  (gr_line (start 50.392159 49.187096) (end 27.328145 43.265288) (layer 
Edge.Cuts) (width 0.1))
  (gr_line (start 52.25 35.66) (end 50.392159 49.187096) (layer 
Edge.Cuts) (width 0.1))
