And here's a question in return: there's a special field in ofx so that a
previously imported transaction may be corrected. Gnucash currently ignores
these correction fields. Do you think you can check if your ofx file has
these <CORRECTFITID> <CORRECTACTION> fields? If so, would you care to
submit a sample .OFX file into bugzilla?
