Step 1, download photo and xmp to download folder.
Step 2, copy the photo and xmp to the folder my test catalog is in
Test 1, Import (Add).
Result 1, Before/After look the same, yes I can select masks and see them, look at them. But before./after fails
Strp 3, Remove (delete) photo from catalog. Delete xmp from catalog
Step 4, copy just the photo to folder with test catslog
Test 2, Import (Add) without xmp, accomplish some edits
Result 2. I go and add some masks, In this case before.after works.

Additional information from engineering:
"The previous settings for an image are set by default to be same as the settings at import time. In the case where an image is imported along with a sidecar, the settings in the sidecar are applied during import only. So before settings are also set to be same as the settings present in sidecar. Hence before/after will be referring to same settings."

Thanks much, that explains the behavior -- I import photos with .xmp sidecars all the time and never noticed that before.
