R C, I just took a look at a few transactions that I recently imported via OFX from my brokerage house then failed to proofread after importing, This is a relatively new capability in GnuCash OFX importer, only importing investment transactions in releases 3.x and 4.x. I just started trying it out recently and I apparently lost some data somewhere shortly after my first trial import.
Anyway, I found that the OFX import did make some errors that could resemble your issues, so I need to suggest searching the bugzilla list for issues with the OFX importer with investment transactions.
