I hate to reply to my own message, but I have realized something that  
might be relevant, although it won't help me in the short run.  As I  
understand things, each of the different importers (ofx, csv, qif,  
....) processes the input and creates a "kmymoney statement" which the  
core program then actually imports to the relevant accounts.  It can  
obviously handle multiple accounts, as this is used by (at least) OFX.   
Therefore, the single account limitation is within the csv importer -  
and essentially related to the distinction between investment and  
banking import profiles.  Eventually, I'll either create a "mixed"  
import profile type for the csv handler, or (more likely) use the  
structure of the csv importer to create a new importer plugin  
specifically for the Merrill Lynch csv files.
