No, I didn't try. As I remember, I just imported the photos the long way round by exporting from iPhotoA, dragging and dropping from one user account to the other, changing preferences, then importing into iPhotoB.
Once a photo file is corrupted I don't like the idea of trying to repair it if I have the option of getting a fresh copy. In my experience iPhoto (and other similar applications) are quite capable of suddenly not recognising a photo, or even 20,000 photos for that matter, so I try to not let things escalate. For this reason I now don't tinker with iPhoto libraries at all (ie duplicating, renaming or editing) - it can have disastrous consequences.
I also saw the weird backwards bug somewhere else in a completely different context. I think it was graphic converter, when asking to create a new file extension, again I think it suggested .gepj (not .gpej as I wrote earlier)
But I'll bear R-Name in mind for other uses. 🙂
