Importing bookmarks ignores folders without name

Reported by jas...@gmail.com, Dec 2 2016 
Chrome Version       : 54.0.2840.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Create bookmark folders with and without names containing bookmarks with and without title.
(2) Export using bookmarks manager
(3) Import the above exported bookmarks.

What is the expected result?
It should import all bookmarks and folders


What happens instead?
Imports only folders with name. Folders without name are present in the exported html but are ignored while import. Bookmarks without title gets imported correctly.

Attached are test bookmark file and screenshots. You can see that before export, I had Test as my first folder, nameless folder, Abc folder. The test folder has another nameless folder. All folders have bookmarks. Currently after importing, the Test folder appears outside the Imported folder and when chrome sees a nameless folder, it ignores the rest. So the folder Abc is not imported.

I tried it again, it is not working. 

1. After exporting the bookmarks, delete all the existing bookmarks.
2. Then import the bookmarks. 

Tested in a using a newly created Chrome profile. No extension are present.
