It probably does this because that part of the tag ["gnc-act:"] is
lexically an XML namespace name, but there are no namespaces declared at
the top of the file.  Were I the software, I would complain about this
loudly; GnuCash should traffic in correctly-namespaced account-template
files, as we now do in the datafile.

[Alternatively, we could remove the namespaces all together, and just
have a single (default) namespace... changing <gnc:account> to
<gnc-account>, <cmdty:space> to <cmdty-space>, &c.]


Given that we ignore namespaces now, you can probably add the following
namespace declarations to the top of the account-templates to get
Conglomerate to work:

<gnc-v2
