JKM, This is not much of an answer, except two comments: (1) I regularly import JSON strings with fields, needing no further configuration. (The import tiddler won't show the additional fields, but they'll be part of the tiddler after import, as you can see once you open in edit mode.) (2) I have found that raw numbers for field content (as in your kbarating field) will not work; only data enclosed in quote marks seems to work.
I don't have time for much more testing, except to confirm that I can import your json data (using copy-paste), and yet I also see a couple unexpected character errors, and I'm not sure why.
