F-Spot import wasn't designed to work this way, particularly since F-Spot stores photos by default in the ~/Pictures directory, which Shotwell considers its library directory. So it's not as if the "copy to library" notion that applies to file import really applies to F-Spot import. The use case for F-Spot import was users who wanted to switch from using F-Spot to using Shotwell in one fell swoop.
It's a bit academic now but I wonder if I could have achieved it if I'd imported my f-spot database and unselected 'Write Metadata to files', then followed the guidelines in the shotwell FAQ for moving photos to a different location. Then once all ok copy the original f-spot photos back to their own location.
