I realize this is all volunteer coding, and I'm not exactly qualified to help in that department, but how do I make a decision on what to do next?  (Wait for fix, try to install 2.4.14 version and re-import, or stay in 2.6 and manually fix the hundreds of transaction errors.)

I don’t know if that will get addressed soon. The QIF importer is in Scheme, and that’s not one of my strengths. Geert and Christian are much better at it but they’re both busy on real life and may not have time.

So I recommend getting either 2.4.13 or 2.4.15; in fact, it would be useful for you to test 2.4.15 and see if whatever is causing the problem got backported. If you see the problem there, then revert to 2.4.13. There’s no point in making extra work for yourself.
