Tried to answer my own question; checking SimPE revealed that they don't have the "learned [vacation action]" memories if you use Inge's teleporter alone.
I learned that the hard way too. You need the townie gun fix from the peasantry, and you need to use the actual gun, which is hell since you have to browse through every name in the neighbourhood to find the sim you want to move. You might be able to just move one sim with the gun, then copy the tokens to all the others in SimPE, but I don't recommend trying to create the tokens manually (that's what I did), even if you apparently make tokens that are identical to tokens from a test-hood, they still end up borked, and you get errors at the dances (can't remember about greetings).
