I can happily import sms's to my heart's content, but (for eg) a chat with a facebook friend gets imported back separately as "-5747564@chat.facebook.com". I can merge it into a contact but the next facebook chat doesn't get added to the previous one. So it's kind of orphaned.

I just began to try. And I don't quite understand your problem.
Though I think it's a bit weird, the contact number can be digits or letters. So I don't know why "-5747564@chat.facebook.com". could you give an example?

I didn't work on that recently.

I just searched and found another tool, and seems better than mine from the desc.

Hi, I'm glad to know the call log is very similar to sms. (thanks to official commhistory-tool again)

I implemented a similar version, and asked a volunteer to try it out (it works on my simulator, but I don't have a real phone currently).

The format is
local_number,remote_number,direction,start_time,en d_time

direction:
0: outbound
1: inbound
2: missed call

(try export and you'll see)
(export version will contain "/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/" prefix for local number. It's not a problem. The program will judge, and add if it's missing)

The binary is located as http://wwwjfy.net/tools/callbackuprestore

It's the same as you use smsbackuprestore.
It's an executable.
You can download it and transfer to your phone.
export by running
./callbackuprestore export call.csv

import by running
./callbackuprestore import backup.csv
