I don't know if there is a how-to, but here's how you do it:

1) !!!!!!! MAKE A COPY OF YOUR FILE!!!!!!!! (is that emphatic enough? :)

2) Here is what a proper transaction looks like:

<gnc:transaction version="2.0.0">
  <trn:id type="guid">06bbe4905639c3952a701dbffa994a25</trn:id>
  <trn:currency>
    <cmdty:space>ISO4217</cmdty:space>
    <cmdty:id>USD</cmdty:id>
  </trn:currency>
  <trn:num>7050</trn:num>
  <trn:date-posted>
    <ts:date>2005-02-09 21:00:00 -0800</ts:date>
  </trn:date-posted>
  <trn:date-entered>
    <ts:date>2005-02-10 19:38:47 -0800</ts:date>
  </trn:date-entered>

[truncated for obvious reasons]

3) the pertinent lines are <trn:currency> ...</trn:currency>. The snippet you sent is missing this and that is what causes the error about common currency. 

4) using the GUID's that print on your terminal, edit the file for every instance of that GUID and confirm that there is a curreny block.  I can't remember if you also need to follow the GUID's of the <gnc:slot>s that are part of the transaction, but I don't think so. 

5) this could surely be scripted someway, but I leave that to you.

So it doesn't crash if "notify me" is unchecked?
