Yup; it can't really guess.

It will remember the mapping, though, and match similar transactions in
the same way in future imports.

As multiple threads have noticed, recently, it might be nice for a
future rev of the gnucash UI to have a multiple-transaction-change ...
so you could do something like:

  * query for all transactions that match "PriceWhacker Groceries*"
  * make debit split of all txns reference Expenses:Groceries.
