QIF importer treatment of zero-sum split transactions

There is some code in the QIF importer which says that if a QIF split
transaction adds up to zero, then the signs of all of its split lines must
get reversed.  It looks very deliberate. Does anyone know why this would
be?  It is causing a problem: because the signs get reversed, any split
lines that contain a transfer between accounts don't match up properly with
the other half of the transfer, causing the importer to create an extra,
spurious transaction. (Try importing the attached QIF to see what I mean.)

Cheers,
Charles
