If there is not then I would suggest shipping this patch since the visibility of the equity accounts is controlled by the expert mode flag anyway. I really don't like limiting the functionality in valid use cases just for the sake of simplicity.

You can import opening balances, but you can't assign them a payee, because it doesn't make sense. I'm opposing to this because so far I fail to see the grounds to let that happen. Opening balances just don't have a payee.
