I found another mystery payee

My OFX importing of all my Merrill Lynch accounts seems to constantly
create incorrect payees, which I usually manage to correct immediately
after the import, and then I delete all unused payees. Sometimes,
however, it seems a payee gets created which is not visible anywhere in
the UI of the program, except for the Payee View.
In the Payee View, I have a Payee with the name "Short Term Capital
Gain: ALLIANZGI CONVERTIBLE FUND CL C PAY DAT" which was almost
certainly taken from an OFX imported investment transaction. There are
no transactions listed for that Payee. However, if I try to delete the
payee, I get the message that it cannot be deleted because it is still
referred to by a transaction. I grep the xml file and find the payee
id and then grep for that payee id in any transactions. It is only
found in one transaction, but not as the payee in any split - it is
only within a key/value pair for kmm-matched-tx. I suppose this means
I somehow imported the transaction twice, and matched the two, but the
payee was only created for one of them.
My question now is whether there is anything I can do to fix this,
other than manually edit the data file. Once I accepted the match, it
seems there is no indication in the UI that there ever was a match for
that transaction, even though the details of it are still within the
data.
As usual, thanks for any suggestions.
