Maybe -- the code doesn't know how to handle a 3-commodity
transaction.  Where I've seen this problem is where you have a normal,
two-split transaction between accounts A and B, but the commodity of
account A is different from the commodity of account B, and BOTH are
different than the "transaction currency".

Yes, the exchange rate is easily determined between A->B, but the code
does not currently deal with it.
