Anything loaded to inventory via an IAR will be owned (or certainly should!) be owned by you - it's not possible in SL 
to have inventory objects that are owned by somebody else.  So I'm a little confused as to what we're talking about here.

Perhaps this is a corner case, though it would still be quite surprising to me as the objects themselves will always be 
given random UUIDs on load.

In fact, the old owner UUID should only be there is the new server also has a user with that UUID.  If not, it should 
revert to the estate owner.  Could it be that somehow the estate owner also has the old UUID?
