In running a quick test myself with that very 12-team schedule, the teams were mixed up the next season, but the structure did not change (interleague games still there, 24-27 games per opponent in division, etc). Offhand I couldn't figure out the method to the mixing within each division. It did not appear that the teams were rearranged strictly based on their order of finish the year before.
On an "ack" note, I was made to remember that the issue with the days of the week is only in that the calendar is no longer accurate if you simply proceed and go with the new schedule. Games Monday April 5, 2004 become games on Monday April 5, 2005 the next season. The problem is that there will be no Monday April 5, 2005. Fri-Sun series will continue to be Fri-Sun, but those days of the week will not match the real calendar most year. This is something that may irk those like LGO, myself, and a few others, but probably not many.
So it seems just importing a schedule once will indeed give you a consistent structure but with variety in matchups over different seasons. Games will not shift days of the week (assuming you do not alter the "Year starts on" day), and the only "problem", if you want to even call it that, is that the calendar is not accurate. One note - I did not add the All-Star Game for my test. Would not think so, but it is possible this may need to be added each year.
Thanks for making me at least refresh my brain on this, Ktulu.
