Description
1. Created a contact with first and last names, as well as an email address on demo (contact_id = 3162).
2. Created the attached CSV file with the same data plus a middle name column.
3. When trying to import it into the demo install, no new contacts are created (good!), but the existing contact doesn't get updated (bad!).

1. The issue wasn't with the new dedupe engine, as 2.0 doesn't use dedupe.
2. I tried to redo the issue on demo (contact id 145) and it happened again - the contact wasn't updated.
3. I updated the demo checkout to the current svn (last change: r14626 on branches/v2.0) and the attached CSV file breaks the last step of import completely.
4. The original issue also appears on trunk, and is not related to the dedupe engine:
- create a contact with first name Waldemar, last name Fydrych, email shot@durance.shot.pl
- try to import the attached file (the defaults are guessed properly); set it to update the existing contact
- dedupe finds the contact properly, so a new contact isn't created, but the found contact is not being updated (its middle name doesn't get set).
Now in "Update" mode, if there is value in CSV file then it will update the contact with that particular value, irrespective if there is already a value or that field is null in db.
- fixed in rev 14955.
The update import contact was depends on dedupe rule fix,
It is working now, since dedupe rule for contact matching is fixed.
Tested in r14618.
