Blogger import fails with 404 at ​http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/login.do

It seems that if the Blogger credentials have expired, the importer does not log in again.

WORKAROUND

On the Import Blogger page:

1. Record any of your blogs that have been imported 100% so you don't waste your time importing again (but if you do, it should just report each entry is already imported)
   
2. Click 'Reset this importer'
   
3. Re-enter your blogger username and password

Importing should again be successful.

REPRO: always
STEPS:

1. Import one of my blogger blogs
   
2. Wait a day
   
3. Go back to the Import page (wp-admin/import.php) and click Blogger
   

• Notice that I am not prompted to login and the Blogger blogs are already listed
  

4. Click on one of the blogs
   

ACTUAL RESULT
URL is updated to ​http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/login.do -> 404

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

case 0 do_login() is skipped

case 2 backup_settings() is run until the $form is populated and die($output . $form); is execulted. This results in a login.do form action locally and then, of course, a 404.
