Rules and Transfers?

Rules don't seem to play well with transfer transactions.

For example, in my checking account, I would like to update the name of a transfer based on the statement name to be clear and succinct - for example "[Account Name] Payment" instead of including all the extra numbers and whatnot that my bank statement assigns.

Likewise, on the other side, "Deerfield, ILL" isn't particularly helpful. I would much rather it say "Payment".

However, I've set up rules, specifying the account, and the sample transactions that come up during rule setup are the ones I would expect and want to change, but the change never seems to actually happen. Then I have to manually update them anyway (which sometimes seems to cause issues of it's own - unlinking transactions I've already checked to be sure they're properly linked and sometimes re-linking things to another pending transaction that didn't actually exist before).

Am I doing something wrong, or does this really just not work?
