I tested this on a vanilla 10.6 and was able to duplicate this behavior. Below is the stack I get in the logs when attempting to import forums and resources:

SUMMARY
Testing link migration involves all 4 methods of re-using content: 1) Re-using materials during site creation; 2) Duplicating a site; 3) creating a new site, then using Import from Site > Merge; and 4) creating a new site, then using Import from Site > Replace.
When testing link migration in the Forums tool, the following problems with the 2 Importing from Site options were identified:
Import > Merge: LINKS WITHIN FORUMS DO NOT MIGRATE - STILL POINT TO ITEMS IN ORIGINATING SITE
Import > Replace: LINKS WITHIN FORUMS DO NOT MIGRATE - STILL POINT TO ITEMS IN ORIGINATING SITE
Links migrated as expected when Re-using materials or Duplicating a site (test results details below).
TESTING DETAILS
"Applies to links to assignments, forums, resources, and quizzes embedded in forum/topic long descriptions in originating site and assumes linked assn/forum has been posted in new site(s), i.e., it is no longer in Draft mode; conversations are not copied forward:
RESULTS OF LINK MIGRATION TO ASSIGNMENT(S) FROM FORUMS (ALL METHODS)
Re-use Materials: Link to assn migrates with brackets [] around text (expected)
Duplicate Site: Link to assn migrates with brackets [] around text (expected)
Import > Merge: ASSN LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; NO BRACKETS; OPENS ASSN IN ORIGINATING SITE
Import > Replace: ASSN LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; NO BRACKETS; OPENS ASSN IN ORIGINATING SITE"
RESULTS OF LINK MIGRATION TO FORUM > TOPIC(S) FROM FORUMS (ALL METHODS)
Re-use: Link to forum topic migrates with brackets [] around text (expected)
Duplicate: Link to forum topic migrates with brackets [] around text (expected)
Import > Merge: FORUM TOPIC LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; NO BRACKETS; OPENS TOPIC IN ORIGINATING SITE
Import > Replace: FORUM TOPIC LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; NO BRACKETS; OPENS TOPIC IN ORIGINATING SITE"
RESULTS OF LINK MIGRATION TO RESOURCE FROM FORUMS (ALL METHODS)
Re-use: Link to resources file migrates and opens file in new site (expected)
Duplicate: Link to resources file migrates and opens file in new site (expected)
Import > Merge: RESOURCES LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; OPENS RESOURCE STORED IN ORIGINATING SITE
Import > Replace: RESOURCES LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; OPENS RESOURCE STORED IN ORIGINATING SITE"
RESULTS OF LINK MIGRATION TO QUIZ FROM FORUMS (ALL METHODS)
Re-use: Link to quiz file migrates by removing link and adding brackets [] around text (expected)
Duplicate: Link to quiz file migrates by removing link and adding brackets [] around text (expected)
Import > Merge: QUIZ LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; LINK (TO QUIZ IN ORIGINATING SITE) STILL ACTIVE; NO BRACKETS
Import > Replace: QUIZ LINK DOES NOT MIGRATE; LINK (TO QUIZ IN ORIGINATING SITE) STILL ACTIVE; NO BRACKETS"
