Reconciliation import will not import transactions you haven't already created

What happened?
I've successfully imported an OFX file (though I imagine the same issue would come up if I used CSV or ISO20022), you'll see in the following example that the variance is $8.25 which is exactly the value of the last four transactions shown.
While these are showing here as "cleared", I can't find any way to actually get them posted. They show in the reconciliation report only, never as transactions against the bank account.
What should have happened?
Every other bookkeeping software I've used has allowed me to not create an AP transaction for bank charges. When I import the OFX, it would show as "unmatched", and I could select it to create an actual transaction.
If this is working as intended, I'm disappointed, but there's still a definite error: if you won't import it if there's no corresponding entry already on my books, it can't possibly be "cleared". Also it's not really an "import" if you don't import transactions but merely verify them.
Also, there's a <DTPOSTED> tag in the transaction, please include it on this display. It's particularly difficult to match the OFX transactions to the bank charges, which are often identical, as in three of the charges above
