I think I figure something out to get the transition to work: I created a bogus account and assigned all 80 transactions to be transferred to it. When I opened the file in 1.4.1, everything transferred. Then I went thru the 80 transactions and one-by-one set them to "(no transfer)". Lastly I deleted the bogus account and all was well.
