Even though OFX is supposed to be the better format of the two, it can have 
the same problem.

I checked the source and it looks like it used '_Fees' as the default. Once 
there are transactions in the resp. investment account that reference other 
fee accounts, it will use those.

Use the O code is the right way to go. In a first round, live with the default 
and modify the transactions to use your own category. In follow up imports for 
that investment account it should use those. YMMV.
