I have not yet tested this, but I think you misunderstand those two fields. 
The first field "Pay to:" sets the payee for the transaction.  The second field
(Category for a deposit or withdrawal) "Transfer to:" sets the account to which
the funds are transferred.  Even though you put the same string in both, they
are different items, and have different effects.  (Just for information, I
always leave the To: or From: field blank for transfers, since it is moving
money between two accounts - that money is not coming from a Payer, not is it
going to a Payee.  I think what is happening is that a transfer always has two
splits.  The "From" side and the "To" side.  In your case, the "Transfer to:"
and "Transfer from:" fields make sense, since they indicate the other account
than the one you are looking at.  However, a transfer has only one Payee - and
it is the same for both splits.  When you look at the "From" side of the
transaction, the Payee is labeled as "From:" and seeing the US Dollar just
seems wrong to you.  I think your solution would be to not use the Payee field
at all for a transfer.  To me, a payee named "Cash - any currency" does not
make sense, since that is not an entity to which you transfer money, either to
or from.
Does this make sense?
