Some personal experimentation does show some curiosities about this, but 
not as severe as you are describing.

I just imported some pages containing a Paragraph Style. It was applied 
properly. If you look at Properties > Text > Styles... it suggests that 
no style is applied, but this is true in the original document as well. 
When I click the drop down list, the style was indeed imported.
When I open Story Editor, I do see the style indicated for the paragraph.

Now, when I first look at the Edit Styles dialog in the document into 
which I imported the page, the imported style is not listed, BUT when I 
click on Edit, it's there. Subsequently, opening up the Edit Styles 
dialog shows this imported style.

So, in summary (from this test):

Styles are indeed imported, though you may have to fish around to find 
the evidence of it.
They seem to be applied in my test. When I look at the saved test 
document, the imported style is indeed there.
