Actually, I think "ignore the problem" is a reasonable approach in this 
case.  If we get the prices in the Price DB sorted out properly, then 
the default in the transfer dialog will be correct in most cases which 
means the extra work for the user resulting from showing it is minimal. 
At least I wouldn't mind, and it would give me a chance to verify that 
the price chosen made sense.

When I'm entering foreign currency purchases (e.g., using a CAD or GBP 
credit card) that's pretty much what I do already.  All my expense 
accounts are USD and I update the Price DB daily so I generally just 
accept the default conversion from the transfer dialog in this case. 
It really doesn't slow me down much.  I think the problem comes if the 
default isn't good enough.
