Actually, there ARE splits - but only one, and so the transaction is not
balanced.  A normal, non-split transaction actually has two splits: one for the
money moving in or out of the account, and the other for where the money went
to or came from, usually a category, but another account in case the
transaction is a transfer.  This is an unfortunate confusion based on use of
the term "split."
I believe that warning was added to the consistency check to catch a different
type of problem, but it also catches these.
I suppose you can think of this as a side effect of KMM essentially enforcing
double-entry bookkeeping, and also the use of Accounts to represent Categories
internally.  Within a transaction, all funds coming from somewhere also have to
go somewhere.
What is your use case for having transactions without a category?  In my
experience, almost all such transactions have been imported and not yet
accepted.
