Hi Chris,
I've been reading your post now and made some very basic testing of  what
you describe. Basically, importing and EDF file to eeglab, and then loading
again the file after exporting it.. right?
 Well.. this example works for me... let me know any thought about it.
 Hope this helps,
 Ramon

 % Start EEGLAB
[ALLEEG EEG CURRENTSET ALLCOM] = eeglab;

% Replace this fields with your path and filenames
datapath = '/home/ramon/WORK/EEGLab_bugfix/bug_1523/';
datafilename = '5038.edf';
datafile2save = 'test_export.edf';

% Import EDF using BIOSIG
EEG = pop_biosig([datapath datafilename]);

% Writing the data
pop_writeeeg(EEG, [datapath datafile2save], 'TYPE','EDF');

 % Now importing again the saved file
EEG = pop_biosig([datapath datafile2save]);

% This works for me :)
