It is possible to get yourself into various states with Oracle as
well where you can no longer import a batch you've exported. Oracle
has an option to Import Ignore Errors which allows you to then go in
and work with the data for recovery.

Throwing a warning and moving on would be an acceptable option (at
least for me).
