There's no difference to speak of in the QIF file between mutual funds
and stocks, and there's really no difference in Gnucash.  I'm not too
surprised that's wrong (or all that concerned, really... you can
always just change the type from 'stock' to 'mutual' after the first
import, and after that [once the bug is fixed] it will DTRT).

On the other hand, the 'account name conflicts' here turn out to be a
symptom of a fairly deep-seated bug in the handling of stocks/funds.
I know what it is but it's going to take a little bit of doing to fix
it.  (BTW the fix will also stop the importer from asking you about
stocks all the time).

I'll hopefully have a patch for this tomorrow.
