I've just built 1-8 and your patch is required but it DOES fix the problem.

After patching business-ledger/Makefile.am, a make install wasn't sufficient - 
it needed a make clean in business/business-ledger/ and a make install in 
src/.

However, once patched, the problem appears completely solved. The totals 
appear correctly in the Account balances and in the Customer Report. No 
mysterious customers appear and the invoice appears fine.

HEAD is currently broken though.
(Pity, I've been using HEAD to generate sample output and testing.)

**Error**: autoheader failed.

From the Debian autoconf notes:
The following heuristics are used to choose an Autoconf version:

        * If file `configure.ac' exists, Autoconf 2.50 is used.
          Autoconf 2.13 used the name `configure.in' instead, but
          version 2.50 supports both.

          (Usually autoconf is run without nonoption arguments.  If a
          filename is supplied on the command line, then version 2.50
          is used if the filename ends in `.ac'.)

        * Otherwise, `configure.in' (or the file specified on the
          command line, if any) is read.  It is checked for the
          presence of an AC_PREREQ directive.  If it specifies a
          minimum version higher than 2.13, Autoconf 2.50 is used.
          `aclocal.m4', if present, is also scanned.

        * Otherwise, Autoconf 2.13 is used.

To force Autoconf 2.13 to be used, name the Autoconf input file
`configure.in' and omit the use of AC_PREREQ() or specify a minimum
version of 2.13 or earlier.  To force Autoconf 2.50 to be used, name
the input file `configure.ac' or use AC_PREREQ(2.50).
