These opening balances are exactly that, opening balances, and should not have a payee assigned.

That account is to balance the entry when you start using KMyMoney and you enter the opening balances for your asset and liability accounts. As per double-entry accounting, all transactions have to be balanced, and money can't just pop out of the blue. 

eg. you start using KMM on Jan 1, but you already had a bank account by that date. You create the account and enter the balance on that date. To balance that transaction, a split is assigned to "Equity/Opening balances". No payees are involved.

Sorry for the delay, this went under my radar.
