I was having a similar issue with the unassigned bucket until I discovered this trick.
Right click on the transaction and select "Make Bucket Optional". I use Moneywell's transaction download feature to track my savings account balance. But, I mark every transaction in the account as "Make Budget Optional". I can track my savings account balance, but this money is not part of my budget. When I need to spend it later in the year, I will mark the side of the transfer that hits my savings account as earnings and continue to spend as normal. The trick is splitting tracking balances (accounts) form budgeting (buckets). So far this is working good for me.
