The error is misleading. From a F::Q point of view, the query was
successful. From a Gnucash point of view, the query failed because the
returned quote has no currency attached.

1.08 is indeed the latest released version of F::Q. I haven't asked the
lead F::Q maintainer to push out a new version of F::Q because I was
hoping to get in a few more changes first. I've been sidetracked by
other projects which is why it hasn't happened yet.
