Funny, I noticed the same thing last night. If you do a QIF import, then
close GnuCash, it doesn't ask you if you want to save. That's a bug, and
maybe one that affects more than just QIF import. And it's a new bug too, as
this wasn't a problem in the past. However, you can work around the problem
by saving manually. After the import, do File->Save As. Does that work for
you?

To other developers: does anyone know about this bug?
