Lightroom 5, possible import bug!

Whilst out today with my M (240) I took about a minutes worth of video, just to give it a try. I also took around 50 stills.

 

When I tried to import these direct from the card via the slot in my iMac Lightroom locked up on every occasion and needed to be forced to quit. The images and the video copied over to the desktop without problem using the finder. Lightroom crashed again when I tried to import the images and the video from the desktop.

 

Once I removed the video it had no problem importing the images!

 

I don't particularly want to use Lightroom for video, but it would seem that if you have video on the card, you have to remove it before it will let you import your still images.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem or am I doing something wrong?

I use LR to import all my files, video and still. Then, I will move the video files to another editor. I haven't had this problem, but I haven't used the M for much video.
