Are you sure that in the wizard settings you haven't got the dot as your
thousands separator too? If you do, you'll get the symptoms you describe.
Your thousands separator shouldn't be the same as your decimal separator.

Ok, I have a clue. If I manually replace the decimal separators in a
text editor (with the comma, as per locale settings), Excel can
suddenly import the file just fine.

It looks as if the decimal separator setting in the "Advanced" section
of the import dialog is simply ignored.
