The ongoing saga of the CRM solutions continues, MS Dynamics CRM 2013 can't come too soon, hopefully there will be improvements around this area.
Having undertaken no rigorous testing whatsoever we have determined that overwriting customizations is slower than maintaining customizations when importing a solution, and so we normally try to avoid overwriting customizations, the problem is what CRM considers a customization.
I haven't really done a serious investigation, but a colleague did a semi serious one and he found that for workflows, the simple action of deactivating it and then activating it, was enough to for CRM to think it had been changed and thus would not be updated if the solution was imported maintaining customizations.
I guess the modifiedon attribute is changed when a workflow is deactivated and that must explain why CRM thinks it has been changed and thus will not modify it.
Like I said, this is all preliminary, so take it with a pinch of salt. Good thing that Ms Dynamics CRM 2011 has just been released, I'm sure this post will save people loads of headaches
