You might want to try upgrading to aqbanking 2.2.5 (released a day or  
two ago). There is a fix in it that at least addresses the issue of  
multiple account types in ofx connections.

I haven't gotten around to compiling it yet, so I don't know whether  
it's a drop-in replacement for recent aqbanking versions, or if you  
need to recompile gnucash too. I don't have a savings account at an  
ofx-friendly bank, so I won't be able to test that myself.
