I've got an entity type which has a db column that's a serialized array of data.

The Entity Info API lets me declare that as a 'struct' type property, and then declare the elements within that array as sub-properties.

It would be nice if these appeared as sub-fields in the Migrate destinations. I can get that part to happen, but I'm stumped as to how (and where!!) to actually copy the data in from the migrate row object to the new entity.

MigrateDestinationEntityAPI::import()?

But that's a monster that subclasses can't easily override, because it tackles both assembling the entity object and saving it.

Would prepare() be a better fit?

Sure, prepare() would do it.
