It definitely is wrong.

  Import/Export uses the same serializing mechanism as the ZODB
  itself (pickling).

  In all these cases, all attributes with the exception
  of those prefixed with "_p_" or "_v_" are pickled.
  Security settings (on instances) are implemented as
  instance attributes starting with "_" but not "_p_" or
  "_v_".

The problem you (probably) observed must have had a different cause.
