Are there any gotchas for ProcessPagesExportImport working with images?

[sodesign]

Hi everyone,

I'm working a on a big site redesign at the moment which requires a separate staging site.
The client is regularly publishing changes on the production site which we occasionally need to merge across to the staging site, along with things like contact form entries.

ProcessPagesExportImport generally does a great job here, but we're finding some instances where images aren't merged across.
Specifically built-in image fields, images within CKEditor fields, images within repeaters, and media fields from the MediaManager module.
Sometimes they migrate successfully, sometimes they don't. I'm not seeing any error messages or exceptions in the logs.

Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of? I wondered if it might be to do with the fact pages have different IDs in production/staging, or that a page ID might already be occupied on staging by a different page.

Thanks!
