1. Please file an enhancement request in bugzilla for GnuCash to warn that a destination account is flagged as a placeholder.
Perhaps change the line color to yellow. I think red is currently used to show the match algorithm doesn't know which account to assign. 2. During past imports you trained the importer to use them. Rather than fix after import, make the change during import so it will learn the correct account to pick The longer you wait to retrain it will make the wrong choice that much more ingrained and longer to retrain the matching algorithm.
