Cryptic error message when merging recipients

Hi!

When I go about merging recipients to clean up different spellings of the 
same real recipient I sometimes get a cryptic error message.

Cannot remove payee P[…] that is still referenced to transaction T[…] ./
kmymoney/mymoney/storage/mymoneystoragemgr.cpp:280

While I can assume the payee to remove I have no idea on how to determine 
the transaction in question by the number given. So the error message is 
not really easily actionable for me, unless I manage to find the 
transaction by other means.

However in this recent case the payee to be removed has no transactions 
listed anymore, so I do not even know where to search for the referenced 
transaction.

Any hints?

If not already reported I can open an enhancement report about this one. 
Would be good to have an error message that gives better guidance on what 
to do about it.

Best,
