When importing a csv file that was exported from GnuCash it works a little different. First, if it was exported from release 4.xx or earlier, select that option from the types. For both types the account matching is done in an extra step before the transaction matching step.
For me, in W10 GnuCash release 5.10 will import a file made with release 4.8.
