It's not easy to detect if something is an audiobook, so it's imported 
into Music, you can mark and move it to audiobooks yourself.

Some Bugs with the audiobook:

Yeah, a bug or at least a behaviour that is not expected.

Depends on your settings. If "Copy files to media folder when 
importing" is checked it imports the files.

Everything is under preferences, If your files are already in the set 
directory they are not again imported, but if they are e.g. in your 
Download folder they are imported when the setting is set.
