Following up -

I've loaded git HEAD on an Ubuntu (Unity) system and that shows the same 
symptoms as yours.  This is because Ubuntu appear to have imposed their 
ideas on the CSV importer UI. When I made the change I'd suggested 
earlier, it fixed the problem with the dialog buttons, but then the 
table horizontal scroll-bar disappeared instead.

The layout margin values have all been changed and the font specified in 
the UI has been replaced by an Ubuntu one, with font and table line 
height changed, and possibly more.  So much for designing a UI.

Anyway, I've needed to make a number of tweaks, but need a little more 
time to test.
