I also have similar problem.
I want to import several images into custom image field at once.
If I use:
custom_title^custom_value
Image custom field^image1.jpg~image2.jpg
I get empty fields. I have also tried with full path - no difference.
If I use:
Image custom field
image1.jpg
I manage to get only one value.
But with:
Image custom field
image1.jpg|image2.jpg
I get nothing.(also tried full paths and ~ in all examples without success)
All files are present in virtuemart_medias tables.
However when I do the export I get custom image field ID:
custom_title^custom_value
Image custom field~Image custom field^1612~115
It works vice-versa but I don't want to use custom image IDs. My automation process would become a real nightmare if I need to check every image ID in Virtuemart media.
My CSV files are attached.
Thank you.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
Several custom attributes with unique name is represented as one group of attributes with options to choose from.
If you have image_custom_field1 and image_custom_field2 then user can choose both of options. Nobody wants that.
If you for example sell shoes and you want your customers to choose between black and white laces, you don't want them to be able to select both.
On the other hand if you have image_custom_field1 with black.jpg|white.jpg customer can choose only one option.
The only solution I see here is to add another function to your import so your plugin search virtuemart_medias table for image name provided in CSV or XML and pick image ID's automatically. I don't know how much work is that but if you point me to a correct file maybe I could try to add that functionality by myself?
Working manually with image IDs is headache

Sorry for waiting.
I have just done with testing and it works like a charm with your patch now.
Nice job. Thank you. I think this is important and useful patch for everyone who wants to use image custom attribute.
