Depending on how you define the "reconciled transaction" this could be heinous.
It's probably ok for the one branch of the split that has been reconciled, but
when there is a split transaction, the other splits should be changeable (e.g.
a paycheck that gets reconciled in the bank acount, but has an error in an
automatic deposit amount to a different acount...)
