Unfortunately, there was a regression related to dataset client tags that are stored as PyDataSet values (instead of standard Dataset) that exhibit this error. If you remove/adjust the offending client tag[s] prior to import, it should load. Additionally, this is fixed as of 8.1.16 (the release candidate is now available here: https://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition/8.1.16-rc1).
