Yes yes... you're right, and that could be easily confusing... I'm all
about Correct Names for things, and that one in particular wouldn't work...

I think that the user may want to budget at a different level than
their income/expense account hierarchy...
For instance, I might have 5 sub-accounts for various specifications of
things, but want to budget them all as one item [I'm finding it hard to
come up with an example, but I'm at work :)]...
As well, it maybe the case that I have one expense account [for food,
for example], but want to budget it in more detail [$A/mo for dinners made
by me, $B/mo for dinners out on the town, $C/mo for workday-lunches, &c.].
