It will remember the match, but only on subsequent imports.  We currently don't
reprocess the list everytime the user makes a change (at the time I feared for
performance).  However, I suppose we could do it, on callback return if the user
changed the account.  This souldn't cause too much of a performace hit.  The
list could then be processed starting from the current transaction, and every
transaction after that with an auto selected balancing account (or no account
selected) could be re-matched.

I suggest you file it as a RFE, and assign it to me.  I should get it into 1.8.1
(I'm not home this weekend, and after this weekend's release, it may be too late
to touch anything that isn't obviously as bug).
