I have seen something similar.  And it is similar to something PJeremy@ 
once mentioned...

On occasion I can not delete a portion of a split transaction.  It says 
it is open elsewhere.  Once that happens... I can no longer enter new 
[memorized] transactions, as it does not remember them.  If I then enter 
the expense category, it will not accept any dollar value.  I must 
restart.  It doesn't happen often, so not a big deal for me.  Just 
mentioning it as a "me too".

In general I am very pleased with gnucash2.
