Oops, I'm afraid you have just found a bug. I didn't consider this case 
when fixing another problem in this area.

The only workaround I can imagine right now is to enter the payment as 
an ordinary transaction in you checking account and when the invoice 
appears use the "Assign as payment" menu item on that transaction.

I'll look into fixing this.
