I've tracked down what the problem was: browser plugins.
Firefox wasn't running the initial import, failing with:
% firefox
firefox-bin: Fatal IO error 78 (Function not implemented) on X server :0.0.
Subsequent runs would succeed, but the File->Import dialog didn't import
saved passwords (although it did import everything else).
Trussing the process didn't show anything untoward, except for an
"-- UNKNOWN SYSCALL -1078988956 --" just before the above error message.
I'm not sure which one of jdk-1.4.2p7, librsvg2-2.8.1_1,
linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_2 or mplayerplug-in-2.70_2 is causing the
problem but moving /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins out of the way,
deleting ~/.mozilla/firefox and re-running caused the import dialog to
appear and everything was imported successfully! Even better, moving
the browser_plugins back into place caused all of the plugins to appear.
Hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.
