I'm not sure that that is exactly true.
The gross amount is the dividend that was earned - the income, the fee 
is the expense, and the difference is the transfer amount that gets 
transferred to the cheque/brokerage account.

The recent fix for the OFX problem, and the related removal of the hack 
requiring a negation appears to have fixed that problem, but QIF 
handling took that negation into account, so that explains the current 
QIF problem, not just for Dividends, but some other activity types as 
well. So, they are all wrong if there is a fee to take into account.

However, your problem predates those OFX fixes so there is another 
problem yet.  Manual dividend entry is unaffected - only imports fail.
