Immediately after creating the new points layer, export it to a
new Shapefile. Then remove the original layer and work on the
Shapefile instead. That way, your work will be permanently saved.

This is the only format that the CSV import tool currently understands.
I was not aware that accuracy is so limited. This is something that
needs to be fixed in the gvSIG CSV import tool. Alternatively, you
can try to import your data with "Normalize table" for greater control.
Maybe that way you get better accuracy. If that also fails, than you
need
to use an external software to convert your lat/lon coordinates to UTM
and work in that system.

Best,

Ben
