I see three separate flaws in the QIF importer code that, in combination, are probably the cause of several outstanding bugs, including yours. In the meantime, could you file a bug report for your specific problem, using the information you've given and the test file? Unfortunately, I think the code will have to be patched before this problem goes away. I don't see a workaround except manual correction after import.
