Using Import API to import project into self-managed GitLab adds strange suffix to imported project's path

I am testing out the Import API to move a project between two self-managed GitLab instances. I have a project called "my-import-project" in a group called "path/to/my-group". I want to import and overwrite this project with the export file used in an import API command.
When I run the curl command to execute the import, with overwrite=yes set, the project is successfully imported. However, despite the project contents looking correct, it created a NEW project with a long string suffix. i.e. "my-import-project-ajashdkajhdfaisdasdsad" instead of just overwriting the existing project.
I suspect that there is a permission/property error somewhere either in the project intended to be overwritten or the project's group that is not permitting the overwrite. Any ideas?
I'm using GitLab EE 15.8.4-ee
