This probably belongs on -devel and not -user..   You should use
(gnc:owner-get-name-and-address-dep owner) as the API to
obtain the owner's name and address.

Of course..  All the other invoices do it :)  Perhaps you're not
pulling off the invoice's owner?

Is this a Customer Invoice or a Vendor Bill?  There is a comment
in the code:

             ;; XXX Need to know when to reverse the value

Which is probably what you're hitting...
