My thoughts:
Accept the transaction using the OFX total AND produce an error message or log.
 In this, PLEASE include in the message/log enough info to identify the
transaction such as date, transaction type and amount as well as the reason for
the report. (This sort of info would have help a LOT when doing QIF imports.)

As you say, it should be taken up with the broker but in any case the total is
what he/they have put in the account and any correction will likely be another
transaction at a later time.
