--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
This is not a bug. A number like "20070320" is a number. It cannot be treated
like a date, because it would break working with numbers.

However, you might import the column as text, and then post-process the data in
it using things like =DATE(LEFT(A1;4);MID(A1;5;2);MID(A1;7;2)), or to split the
imported column using Data->Text to Columns with "Fixed width" option, to
separate the parts of the date.
