System Information
Ubuntu 14.04, 2x GTX 580

Blender Version
Broken: 2.74 RC2
Worked: x

Short description of error
Imported custom split normals are not used for mirrored parts using mirror modifier.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Import geometry via fbx/obj with custom split normals.
Add mirror modifier.

BTW having custom split normals after all in blender is totally awesome if you had to work with cad converted geometry (ProE/Solidworks and so on). Thank you for integrating this to blender - you guys are awesome!

Ouch, yeah, getting clnors to work with generative modifiers is not really possible in general case currently (well, could be, but would require a hell of code in all those)…

Yet, would be nice at least for some like mirror, will try it.

Yes I was not sure if this is to be called a bug ... but would be nice if it would work.

Not much sense to keep this open really, added a note about it in our TODO list.
