I think I figured out the problem!!! I'm posting the answer(s) just in case anyone else has the same issue:
In order for the format to transition properly, the master slides need to be named identically.
If the original slide’s layout was modified at all from the original slide's master, for example if a placeholder was resized, the formatting gets wonky after importing. So to help that, before importing them select all slides in the left panel of the original file and click “Reset” on the Home tab. Probably best to Save As at that point because Reset changes stuff. Then, import the newly saved file using “reuse slides”.
One more thing... My old master had a right-aligned slide number footer, and the new master has it centered. After importing, the page number doesn’t always appear. To fix this, click “Slide Number” on the Insert menu. In the header and footer popup box, on the Slide tab select “slide number” and Apply to All.
I hope this will spare others the same pain I've been going through
