It is possible to add a new account directly from the transaction split--but only when the account list popup is disengaged. If the popup is visible, you must first click the account list button and dismiss the popup. Then, when you type in your new account name, Gnucash asks to create the account.

This is the first I've heard of it.  If you continue typing then it
should auto-pop-down the list and then when you tab off it should ask if
you want to create it.
