Not quite :) You did improve a few mods I did for the 2.x series.  But I
did not change that (I checked my diff file I submitted).

Yes the 2 code blocks are slightly different.  But my installed version
is 2.0.1 and the printable & easy invoices do not show the 
"Billing Address Name" either.  Only the Customer Name & Billing
Address.

The fancy invoice snipit:

    (gnc:html-table-cell-append-objects!
     name-cell (gnc:owner-get-name-dep owner))
    (gnc:html-table-cell-set-style!
     name-cell "td"
     'font-size "+2")
    (gnc:html-table-append-row! table (list name-cell #\newline "<br>"))
    (gnc:html-table-append-row!
     table
     (list
      (string-expand (gnc:owner-get-address-dep owner) #\newline "<br>")))
    (gnc:html-table-append-row!
     table
     (list "<br>"))


The invoice.scm snipit:

    (gnc:html-table-append-row!
     table
     (list
      (string-expand (gnc:owner-get-name-and-address-dep owner) #\newline "<br>")))
    (gnc:html-table-append-row!
     table
     (list "<br>"))
