In my testing, the $node->date field causes a diff due to a difference in timezones when the importing site has a different timezone than the exporting site.

- 'date' => '2011-01-19 15:54:23 -0500', + 'date' => '2011-01-19 20:54:23 +0000',

Looking at the export, the actual $node->date is 'date' => '2011-01-19 15:54:23 -0500',

The diff goes away when you change the importing site's site-wide timezone to the one that matches the node export.
