When importing photos that are marked as missing, Shotwell always imports them in place even though I ask it to copy the photos

Bug Description

To reproduce do the following:
1. While Shotwell is not running remove a photo from the shotwell library in Nautilus (copy the photo to outside the Shotwell library).
2. Now open Shotwell, and Shotwell will report this photo as missing.
3. Now import the photo from the folder you copied it to and select to copy the photo to the Shotwell library

You would now expect this photo to reside within the Shotwell library, but you would find that in fact it did not copy the photo.
