Cannot alter shortcut portlet preferences after export/import from 301 to 35

When you export the Shortcut portlet or an instance of the Shortcut portlet from 3.0.1 and import it into 3.5, the export/import is successful but when you go in to Administration> Portlet Admin > select the imported shortcut portlet > click on View/Edit Custom Preference > Continue, you get the following error in the preferences window:

ERROR: "PortletContainerImpl: failed to run the portlet:'ShortcutComplexPrefEditor'."

Also, the following error in the server console:

ERROR:
"11:48:23,767 ERROR [EboPortletProxyHelper] PortletContainerImpl: failed to run the portlet: 'ShortcutComplexPrefEditor'. com.novell.afw.portlet.exception.EboPortletOperationException: PortletContainerImpl: failed to run the portlet:'ShortcutComplexPrefEditor'. "
