Personally, if I paste one transaction into another transaction, I'd do
it because I was creating a split where I wanted two transactions to be
tied together. i.e. sometimes I do financial transactions that are all
one logical group but the way the money moves, it's like moving money
from account A to account B and C to D.  

That is, if I paste one transaction into another one, I want the split
to open up.  Leave the first transaction as-is and add the new one as
additional splits to the first one.  Leave the transaction "open" and
don't commit it yet (leave the user on the same line.)

(I can't tell from your description if this is what it does or not.)

Just my 0.02.
