After consulting with the developers about the cause of this, we did come up with a cause and that is the file format changes slightly in the newer versions and need to be re-written to be parsed correctly.

Lets to the following. Remove the erroneous configs for the host/services, in the CCM.

Then

CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management
Delete Files
Write Configs
Verify Files
Restart Nagios Core

This will reset the configs

Now, the Bulk Host Import Wizard should work correctly.
