So a little bit of Googling suggests that this isn’t a problem with PHP or the plugin, but with Xdebug.

Changing Local’s PHP.ini file to add the value: xdebug.max_nesting_level=1000 has resolved the issue.

I’ve used GeoMyWP for this, they have an extension for Job Manager: https://geomywp.com/extensions/wp-job-manager-geolocation/

I’ve also had this problem today on two separate sites. One was a job board site when upon upload it asked to run through the WP Job-Manager plugin first time setup after I logged into the imported site.

I’ve had this problem exporting from a local dev site to a live (staging) server. I have two web hosts – one running MySQL version 5.1(???) and another running 5.6.

The web host running 5.1 stalls at the ‘restoring database’ stage while the one running 5.6 has no problem.

I believe something changed in WP core during the recent 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade that altered the structure of the database and affected backwards compatibility.

To anyone having this problem it’s worth checking the version of MySQL running on the DB you’re exporting from and the DB you’re exporting to.
