To replicate:

1. Create two users, "User1", and "User2".
2. Set their displaynames to "user1" and "user2"
3. Do a full-portfolio leap2a export of User1
4. Log in as User2, and import the generated leap2a file into your account
5. In the interactive import step, set "Display name" to "Ignore"
6. Finish the import
7. View your displayname on the "Content -> Profile" page and on the "Logged-in Users" sideblock

Expected result: You should see "user2" in the displayname field of
"Content -> Profile" and in the "Logged-in users" sideblock

Actual result: You see "user2" in the displayname field of
"Content->Profile", but you see "user1" in the "Logged-in users"
sideblock

Title:
  Display name from Leap2a import overwrites local display name even if
  you choose "ignore"

Bug description:
  This issue was reported by Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

  The problem is that if you export a full portfolio to Leap2a, and then
  you import it, and you choose to "ignore" the displayname, it still
  overwrites your local displayname. At least, in some places.

  This also happens for other profile fields as well. The problem is
  that these are all "cached" artefacts, where their value is stored as
  an artefact, and is also stored as a column in the "usr" table for
  quick access. The import code is correctly updating or ignoring the
  artefacts, but is incorrectly updating the usr table. Hence you see
  your old values when you go to "Content -> Profile" but you see the
  new value in the "Logged-in Users" sideblock.
