Grants by SYS have always been lost via exp/imp. After you run catalog and catproc on a new DB that you intend to import into you should consider creating the owning users and running a script to re-issue the grants from SYS. Then when you run your import you will avoid this problem. You should also pre-create any desired database links for similar reasons. And I will point out that grants by SYS can be lost with upgrades that require rerunning catalog and catproc so having a granted_by_sys.sql script handy is part of our upgrade procedure.
