Jon,
David C. makes one suggestion. I would ask whether the destination account is
also denominated in the selected stock. If not, then gnucash will convert
between different commodities (e.g., between shares of stock and USD).

I do know how to record purchase and sale of securities, but that's
not what I'm asking about.
In this case I have literally moved the securities, by transferring
shares directly from one broker to another. No purchase or sale
occurred, and the basis information of the transferred shares is
unchanged (albeit only a portion of the shares in the source account
were transferred).
