SPLIT without the leading < points in the direction of matched transactions.
Do these lines show up in <PAIR key="kmm-matched-tx" ... />

That could well be and the length is also an indication for a matched
transaction. Maybe, those are leftovers and the referenced account was
deleted while they still exist. There was a time when this was possible
in older KMyMoney versions, so if all those entries are aged enough it
would also be an indicator.

Does

  grep -n '.\{1500\}' MyMoney.kmy | grep kmm-matched-tx | wc

also return 77? I wonder why you have 77 unaccepted matched transactions
while I try to keep that number at zero.  I had to create one to see how
this looks like in the XML construct :)

Once we have answers from you and a bit clearer view we can continue trying
to fix the situation. I have the impression of some light at the end of the
tunnel - or is it in fact the train? LOL.
