Please describe the problem.

Spotted today in https://github.com/datalad/git-annex/runs/5135259845?check_suite_focus=true

    export_import_subdir:                                 FAIL (0.88s)
      ./Test/Framework.hs:57:
      import of subdir failed (transcript follows)
      list foo ok

and looked through the logs for jan and feb:
