Seems like Ignition fails to process the value field for client dataset tags when doing a csv import. Export shows the field as “Dataset [7R â…¹ 4C]” which fails to import. I tried swapping the malformed value out for “Dataset [7R x 4C]” and an empty string; both of which failed to import.

That’s true, the import/export of dataset-typed client tags currently isn’t supported. Things like this are extremely awkward in CSV format…
