Just to be clear, when a user selects a file for import, it's transactions appear in the matcher dialog. This is where the user must correct whatever assignments are not done, or are done incorrectly. The matcher only learns from corrections made from within this dialog.
Once the user is past this dialog, and the transactions have been imported and appear in a GnuCash register, if some error is found and gets corrected, the matcher doesn't learn from this correction, so it will likely fail the same way the next time.
