AFAIR, KMM chooses the last transaction for that payee and if it is split, 
then it copies the categories over and (for some reason I don't remember) does 
not touch the amounts of the splits for the categories but only adjusts the 
amount of the account.

I see this happen here as well for those transactions that I split into a net 
and tax part. If a new one comes in, I could redo the calculation based on the 
percentage, but that is not implemented. Again, this has been developed long 
time ago and I don't remember the details why it not has been done. The trick 
I use to get around this is to manually edit the transaction, change the 
total, tab to the next field, shift+tab back and change the amount back. In 
case to the VAT automatism this adjusts the amounts of the categroy splits as 
I need them. This of course does not work for split transactions that are not 
based on the auto tax assignment.

Hope that helps a bit.
