Bisect automates one of the most irritating parts for me -- keeping track of where I am, so it was worth it to go to git. I did have some adventures along the way.:)
I have verified the code. It should work fine on a clean install 
(meaning the complete installation directory removed).

The error you get suggests that the old balsheet-eg.scm file is still in 
the standard-reports installation directory. The standard reports are 
loaded by listing all scm files in that directory.

Can you check if the balsheet-eg.* files are still in your 
standard-reports installation directory ? This directory should be at
<$prefix>/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/report/standard-reports/

If not and you still have this problem, can you
1. add this snippet

(gnc:debug "stdrpt-dir=" (gnc-path-get-stdreportsdir))

on line 120 of standard-reports.scm. You can do this either directly in 
the installation directory
<$prefix>/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/report/standard-reports.scm
or in the source file, but in this case you should run make && make 
install also

2. run gnucash with "gnucash --log "gnc.scm=debug"

3. post the first few lines of gnucash.trace here. I'm mostly interested 
in what it prints for stdrpt-dir and dir-files.
