We have found that if other CMS users are publishing content while CMSImport is running, the import gets confused and puts data into the incorrect field.
E.g. it may add someone email address into the phone number field.
umbraco v 4.0.4.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.3793.17632)
What do you mean with other users? Any event handlers you are using or other Custom packages? Data is mapped to a property Alias so I'm pretty sure CMSImport will import to the mapped field.
Just try running a CMSImport and using another instance of Umbraco on the same DB (as per multi-dev setup) start publishing items, then look for data being fired into the incorrect fields. It could well be a problem with Umbraco rather than CMSImport but this is the only place we're seeing it at the moment.
I'm just back from holiday. Today I tried importing items and that worked fine for the v4.5 compatible version. I dn't have a Multi dev environment but I did use CMSImport at a client where the content editors were publishing and modifying content, all worked fine. I will setup a multi dev environment in september when building v1.1 of CMSImport to be absolutely sure.

Hi Pete,

Other users = other people using the CMS while the import is running.
We've just tried it with no one else allowed to log in and it worked fine.
I have an event handler that replaces text on certain cmsPropertyDataTypes, none of which seem to have been affected by the misplaced data.
Installed packages:
FamFamFam Icon Package
ImageGen
Pixlr
jesper.umbracosql
Sitereactor.StandardValues
Umbraco Contour
ImprovedMediaPicker
TreeMultiPicker
CmsImport
Auto Complete
Just had a solution reminder about this.
Did you look into it at all?
