I just created a payee for myself, and used something in the memo field  
to match these transactions.  That way, editing them to change to a  
transfer to my cash account (and optionally removing the payee) is  
fairly painless.  I have not yet seen any way for an OFX transaction to  
be imported as a transfer instead of a payment or deposit.
