 * I use WP Importer 0.6.3 and also in my theme there are menu structure that has
   some custom fiels for every munu point like “Anchor”, “Icon” and so on. If i 
   export all site data with WP Importer i can see menu and menu fields inside XML
   like this:
 *     ```
       <wp:postmeta>
       	<wp:meta_key><![CDATA[_menu_item_anchor]]></wp:meta_key>
       	<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[qqqqqq]]></wp:meta_value>
       </wp:postmeta>
       ```
   
 * But after import this xml back into site i have correct menu and menu items, 
   but all custom fileds is empty, beside Navigation Label and Title Attribute.
   
   This bug appears to be in WP 4.6
