This was certainly the case several years ago when I converted from Quicken and I don't think it's changed since then.  I've been gradually over the last few years copying the notes from the description to the memo.

It looks as though it goes into the transaction memo field if the 
transaction is not split, and into the corresponding split description 
fields if the transaction is split. David was right. I just wasn't using 
the right view to see what I wanted to see in unsplit transactions.
