Wikipedia has a confusing explanation here:
When editing the QIF file, check for any transaction Category (the field
starting with 'L') for an account name contained in brackets, such as
[Checking Account]. The brackets reference another quicken account, and
if left in place will post a transaction in that account in addition to
the account being imported to, with potentially troublesome results.
Avoid this by removing the text including the brackets and replacing
with another category if desired. The only exception to this is an
opening balance transaction, identified by 'Opening Balance' in the 'P'
field (POpening Balance). In this case, the brackets need to be left in
place, and the account name between the brackets must exactly match the
account name in the 'N' field.

Is that documented somewhere in Gnucash?

Indeed. QIF treats the L[XX] as Asset/Liability account and LXX as an
Income/Expense account (Category).
