Confirm that this still happens with build 2.0.0.19 (20081209) on Windows Vista.
What seems to be happening is that Thunderbird is remembering the field order of the previous import through a line in prefs.js 
user_pref("mailnews.import.text.fieldmap", ...

Perhaps there could be a button to reset the field order back to the default, i.e. that which Thunderbird uses when it exports.
