I just merged an old (now defunct) Bitcoin-QT wallet into my Blockchain.info wallet, first by using the import wallet tool to generate a second Blockchain.info wallet with the same password as my main one, then by importing the Blockchain.info wallet backup from the intermediary wallet into my main one.
It has imported all the private keys and their labels, including the private keys for change addresses. There are two problems with the way it's displayed though.
First, change addresses are treated like other addresses, which adds a lot of noise to the transaction list. I don't know if this could be fixed though, presumably Bitcoin-QT keeps an internal record of which addresses are change addresses and this data hasn't been imported.
Second (and more important), transactions sent to labelled private keys don't show up in the transaction list as having being received to the receiving address (or its label), but from the addresses sending to it. I was hoping to be able to discard my Bitcoin-QT wallet and switch entirely to Blockchain.info, but for now I need to keep it as otherwise I can't easily tell my old received transactions apart.
The first point may be unsolvable, but would it be possible to improve the display of transactions sent to imported private keys?
