You need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file before restoring the JSON backup if you need to keep existing bookmarks.
As an alternative you can copy bookmarks that you wish to keep to the clipboard and paste them back afterward. Make sure that you have a HTML backup just in case something goes wrong.

Since Delicious now requires a yahoo ID for an account, I'm trying to recover my bookmarks with tags into firefox (I'll use weave)

I successfully seem to have synced Delicious with Flock, the json file from flock looks fine

When I restore from the file, the Firefox profile adds every tags from delicious, but empty, with no actual bookmarks?

Think for yourself. Otherwise you have to believe what other people tell you.
