I've just tested the procedure on Windows and can confirm the bug still exists. I'll put a PR in for each branch as the importDXF.py has changed significantly over the past few months.

Edit: Two PR's logged https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/2813 and https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/2814
This is related to the legacy dxf exporter that was fixed some time ago, but since it is not distributed with FC because of its license, the user must update the dxf library through the Addons manager.
