that imports as
https://blockchain.info/address/1MtR9nBGfWBLY23q4dRGRjjzBBiEdxRmC3

if they are not valid addresses then that is a fatal flaw in the blockchain because it's showing as a valid address and you could send coins there

If you edit the address it comes back as checksum not valid, so it clearly does check the addresses and says that this one is valid. If it's not then blockchain is fucked

eg:
https://blockchain.info/address/1MtR9nBGfWBLY23q4dRGRjjzBBiEdxRmC2 is not valid (change 3 to 2 at end)
