But there is a way to get around it.

1. Create an iMovie project, if you haven’t already.
2. Close iMovie.
3. Right-click on the project file and choose “Show Package Contents.”
4. Browse to the Media folder.
5. Place your clips in the folder.
6. Open your iMovie project.
7. Click the VIEW TRASH button.
8. Drag your clips to the clips pane.

I’ve been able to do this with .mov, .dv and .mpg.
