I tried with a clean checkout; it didn't build for a number
of reasons:  Transaction.c had some incorrect settings,
and then in gnome-utils you had an incorrect number of
arguments to the functions.

Even worse, you were illegally calling functions of one argument with
TWO arguments, and the compiler wasn't catching it due to the casting.
This is BAD, and can lead to LOTS of problems down the road.

Uh, no, it wont.  It broke in both src/engine (Transaction.h)
and gnome-utils (gnc-query-list.c).

Nope.  This isn't what happened.  It was a compile-time break,
not a runtime break!
