The problem are the transactions without payee. Those transactions break the QIF importer.

Thanks for the detailed problem report. Just one more thing that you could test: Do you think you can download a gnucash-2.3.12 package and check whether this also fails on this data file? (But OTOH the information you provided is sufficient for us to test this otherwise.)

Hi,

I replicated the problem with Gnucash 2.3.12 binary in Win32 (r19045) using that same file test (attachment 161398 [details]). Gnucash's qif import fails with this data file so the bug is still present on the current SVN versions with exactly the same behaviour as the stable releases.

Hi,
I realized this problem has been already reported on Bug 583269
