More imagination?
A person is making purchase with a credit card and that has processed,
but tells the sales person oops, I meant to use this other credit card*.
Sales person reverses the first and then re-enters with the second
credit card.
The point here is that the credit card statement (of the first card)
will be showing two transactions, the original and its reversal. So if
wanting to match what's in your books, yes you'd want those two entries
in the gnucash account

* If this seems strange to you, consider that some of us are walking
around with different credit cards for different purposes. Thus I have
one strictly for tax deductible medical expenses (nothing else put on
there)

A good, clear example why something like that should be allowed.
Been watching the replies to this with interest: there's a lot of
knowledge out there.
But, thinking about it, the problem that I ran across was that the two
splits in the offending transaction had ended up with a CR and a DB
for the same amount to the same account; it was a null transaction. I
hesitate to say this, having been proved thoroughly wrong before, but
surely there can't be a reason to want a transaction like that?
