Extra accounts in template-transactions

[Mike Alexander]

I was looking at my GnuCash file with a text editor recently and 
noticed something funny in the gnc:template-transactions section.  That 
element contains 47 account definitions that look like

<gnc:account version="2.0.0">
  <act:name/>
  <act:id type="guid">362ba4edc13db6a82a1ba60ab2aeac94</act:id>
  <act:type>ROOT</act:type>
  <act:commodity>
    <cmdty:space>template</cmdty:space>
    <cmdty:id>template</cmdty:id>
  </act:commodity>
  <act:commodity-scu>1</act:commodity-scu>
  <act:parent type="guid">204857ffe8ee318428da4619d7b34498</act:parent>
</gnc:account>

The first of these has no parent and a spot check seems to imply that 
each of the rest has the previous one as a parent.

There are also 216 entries like

<gnc:account version="2.0.0">
  <act:name>668c7b57c3c04a846cc7cada40e683b9</act:name>
  <act:id type="guid">de604373811d790c422b2c37c2c9fbec</act:id>
  <act:type>BANK</act:type>
  <act:commodity>
    <cmdty:space>template</cmdty:space>
    <cmdty:id>template</cmdty:id>
  </act:commodity>
  <act:commodity-scu>1</act:commodity-scu>
  <act:non-standard-scu/>
  <act:parent type="guid">855383817fe136d02ad8b911d1b0fb97</act:parent>
</gnc:account>

The parents of these seem to be the various ROOT accounts above.  Most 
of these BANK accounts seem to be unreferenced, but some of them are 
referenced in the transactions later in the template-transactions 
section.

I have no idea when these appeared in the file, but they seem like they 
might be a mistake.  I have 6 scheduled transactions in the file, all 
of them very simple ones that just pay a bill with a fixed amount from 
either a checking or credit card account.
