There's no possibility for third-party questiontypes to backup their custom states in such a way that they are readily available when restore_states() is called during restore.

I encountered this issue when I wrote a question type which stored the responses not in the answers column of question_states, but in another table.

I was able to work around it, but it would've been a lot easier if I could've backed up the states in the logical place (e.g. under <ATTEMPTS><ATTEMPT><STATES><STATE> )
