FWIW, I've been working on making that test work again with lot 
scrubbing enabled (although I agree that disabling it is the right 
thing to do for now).  I think the bugs are not new bugs, but they were 
masked before by the bug in gnc_lot_get_earliest_split which 
effectively disable lot scrubbing.  My fix to that bug exposed all 
these other bugs.

I've found and fixed four or five bugs but have one or two yet to go. 
I should have a patch ready later today.  Even with automatic lot 
scrubbing disable, these bugs should be fixed.

For 2.0 it would be nice if the automatic lot scrubbing were a 
preference option.  It works well enough to be useful for simple cases 
and with these bugs fixed it probably won't cause a lot of damage.
