Bisect automates one of the most irritating parts for me -- keeping track of where I am, so it was worth it to go to git. I did have some adventures along the way.:)

Guile is actually looking in $prefix, it's the (C-)code that has to find 
the standard reports directory that is misbehaving. This C-code 
(gnc_get_stdreports_dir in gnc_path.c) somehow returns a path to your 
installed gnucash 2.4, instead of your trunk build in /opt.

I'm afraid I have no idea why that is. It's not happening on linux, but 
seems to be an OS X thing. Perhaps the OS X specific binreloc code is 
not acting as it should, or the gnucash launcher script does the wrong 
checks ?
