Um, the code in question just calls xaccAccountGetBalanceAsOfDate()
which should use the Post date of the transactions.  In other words,
it shouldn't matter *when* you enter a transaction, but rather whatever
date you put into the register.

And indeed, looking at the code it DOES use DatePosted, so it's behaving
correctly.
