Is there any chance this will be fixed anytime soon?
In upcoming patch.
Would copying Globals.lsf from one save to another work as a means of exporting/importing characters from one save to another, or is there more to it?
It may work, but this is risky. Globals.lsf are more then just than set of player characters. It contains a lot of game info needed for proper loading of the game entities. I'm not stopping you from trying - but playing with globals is much dangerous than things i described.
Anyway, if you will try - please leave a comment if it worked or not - for future references
