I don’t know why you’d expect a BOND type: There isn’t one. Nor are these individual security accounts, they’re placeholder accounts for containing collections of security accounts. It doesn’t make sense for these placeholders to be of type STOCK or MUTUAL because those types of accounts are supposed to have non-currency commodities and the placeholders need to have currency commodities because that’s what one uses toaggregate security holdings.

Yes, if the same error exists in the other locale’s account templates it should be fixed there too. I didn’t have time yesterday to do that. I’ll work on it tomorrow.
