Reconciling a transaction really only reconciles one split of a
transaction.  When you're in the reconciled account gnucash will attempt
to prevent you from modifying or deleting reconciled transactions.
However if you attempt to edit it from the other side gnucash will not
stop you from modifying or deleting it.  So perhaps you deleted it from
the other side.

Another possibility is that when gnucash popped up the "are you sure?"
dialog you said yes.

Regardless, I'm glad you found the errant transaction.
