This happened many times yesterday and after experimenting, by transferring the files both locally and over NFS, it appears that only a LUKS encrypted virtual machine image throws this error. I then did the same with another VM image that does not have LUKS encryption and it saved the new image just fine.

Code:
root@pve:/mnt/usb/exthdd1# qm importdisk 120 /mnt/usb/exthdd1/kali2021.qcow2 HDD2
importing disk '/mnt/usb/exthdd1/kali2021.qcow2' to VM 120 ...
  Wiping dos signature on /dev/HDD2/vm-120-disk-2.
