I created a similar structure and assigned 3 specials to products. Each special was for some group. I uploaded the data and it just works fine, here is the log:
---------------------------------------
Importing 1 Products
Importing 3 Specials
0 Special(s) imported, 3 Special(s) updated.
Special(s) Import Complete...
0 Product(s) imported, 1 Product(s) updated.
Product(s) Import Complete...
---------------------------------------
There must be some special case for your case which is causing the issue. Can you please debug it a little with a new single product and see what happens?
