Oh my, this is way over described! "If it didn't fail, something that changed the behavior of my U+C happened." -- that happened because you somehow UNTICKED in front of the "Append" near bottom of the dialog box in the match transaction window (same place where you have option for A, U+C or C) while selecting 'U+C' for it. A check mark in front of that "Append" allows appending of the imported "Description" to the existing data in the "Description" field with a vertical bar as the separator between two; not sure if that behavior follows "memo" field or not -- I've never used "memo" field.

Now I'm a little confused. I don't use SQL. If it didn't fail, something that changed the behavior of my U+C happened. Whenever I did my imports, I imported the QIF, then imported the OFX, chose U+C, and my MEMOs were in QIFMEMO|OFXMEMO format, preserving both information, and this behavior returned, tested a bit in v5.12 and v5.13. As far as I remember, option C leaves me with only one of the MEMOs, the QIFMEMO or the OFXMEMO, I don't remember exactly which one. I need to continue my update process and observe the behavior of OFX A, U+C, and C more closely to come back here with more certainty. Please, while I'm at it, how can I force the re-import of an OFX file that has already been imported? I've already tried renaming it, changing fields inside it, and I still haven't been able to re-import the OFX.
