Arthur Brogard,

The question seems to be why some transactions are poorly matched to a known 
existing transaction. There is a Import tab in the GnuCash Preferences window. 
In the import settings, there are various threshold amounts that are used with 
the transaction matching. I suspect that if you adjust the settings, you'll be 
able to obtain the matching you're seeking.

The exact reason why the transactions are not "red flagged" on the smaller 
second import is going to come down to the code, the matching logic.

Begin with the preference setting adjustment.

See 10.2.5. Import
