RE: How do you export contacts AND preserve groups?

They are encrypted to keep the windows live ids of your contacts safe from peeking eyes (such as email gathering malicious programs).

You can turn this encryption off by going to WLM's options:
Tools > Options > Security > Encrypt contact list data so that it is not accessible outside of Windows Live Messenger.

But turning this off wont do any good for the OP's issue, when importing contacts WLM does not take into account any group information anyways to begin with.
