True.  If you change a reconciled split in this manner it should warn
you and, if you still continue, it should reset the reconcile flag (or
at least ask you what to do).

Note that I don't know what happens if you change the account on the
'current' split.  The txn should disappear as soon as you commit it.

I don't want to think about this.  But yea, the user can really shoot
themselves in the foot.  Does gnucash not detect imbalanced
transactions at this point?  If so, that's a bug.

Personally, I think the logic in the split-ledger-control.c:...traverse()
is broken.  I also think it's broken in the entryledger..
