I think you're right this is currently not possible.

In the csv importer rewrite only the csv specific parts have been redone. 
However once all the info is gathered from the csv file this info is passed on 
to the generic import matcher, which handles final evaluation of the 
transactions. This is not yet rewritten as it is used by all importers. It 
looks like this generic import matcher can't cope with the multi-currency data 
it receives from the csv parser.

Can you file a bug report for this please and add your example csv snippet 
from above ?

At some point I will continue the work on the importers, though there are 
currently more pressing matters to handle first.
