I don't blame you.

You and I have the same version, since I am running a Debian
testing/unstable mix, with the Experimental versions of libltdl3 and
libltdl3-dev to make it work.  What happened to you sounds really
weird, but I think it has nothing to do with gnucash.  I'm no guru
with this stuff, but at a guess, I'd say it has to do with your
locales.  I don't understand your reference to "Register Action" - is
this the Actions pulldown, or something else?  Maybe I don't see this
because I handwrite my cheques (not very many in the month, so it's
not worth setting up printing), and have never explored this, never
mind set it up. 

Back to locales: what is in /etc/locale.gen?

Good luck.
