It will load just fine; it will save just fine.. I tested this to be
sure ;)
It will show a "1" in the price column (instead of 0) but it should
be fine otherwise... Unless you try to edit it.

As I said, resaving will be fine. There will only be data loss if you
try to edit one of the transactions with 0 shares. If you do try to
edit it, it will reset the shares and value to something "strange".
Indeed, if you even _enter_ the split with 0 shares, you wont be able
to get out of it (except by hitting the "cancel" button).
