After importing comments to already redacted document, Adobe tells me 'contains unapplied redactions

Redacted a legal document with comments, exported comments to data file before redaction so as to be able to import them back after redaction - after doing so seeing blue bar with message 'this PDF contains unapplied redactions.'  I didn't flag anything additional for redaction, and don't want to apply since it would delete the comments I just reimported back!  What can I do?   I need the comments in the document for judge review - how do I reimport the comments back without the program telling me there are more redactions pending when there are none?
