Merrill Lynch creates three separate transactions for what could be a
single "Dividend Reinvestment" both on their printed/PDF statement
and in OFX imports (either file or direct connect.) This requires
manual intervention in order to actually create a reinvest
transaction. (I suppose I could live with separate dividend and buy
transactions, but it doesn't work that way.)
I finally did some digging into both the OFX specification and the
file. Bottom line is that on importing the OFX to the investment
account, <INCOME> (of type DIV) gets imported as a dividend.
<TRANSFER> which represents the actual buy, does not get imported.
<INVBANKTRAN> which seems to represent the debit to cash of the
dividend, gets imported as a withdrawal from the brokerage account to
the payee "Reinvestment," which is the <NAME> in the OFX.
Is there anything to reasonably be discussed here, or should I take
this to the libofx list to see how they interpret the various
sections of the OFX import?
Thanks for any suggestions (other than switching brokers, which I'm
seriously considering, except I'm sure any other one will have it's
own quirks.

In saving as an anonymous file, I discovered yet another strange
behavior. In the anonymous file, the brokerage account is renamed and
thus not recognized as the brokerage account for the investment
account. Importing to this file creates two transactions in the
investment account - dividend, and buy. If I rename the checking
account to be the proper brokerage account name, I get the above
described import.
Now to see if I can make a smaller example that has this same behavior.
