Does this mean that if (for example)

1. at the end of August, I have USD100 in Assets:Cash:USD and the most
   recent rate in the price editor is 0.55, so my balance sheet shows
   GBP55.00 in that account;

2. at the end of September, I still have USD100 there, but I've added
   a newer rate of 0.58, so my balance sheet shows GBP58.00 in that
   account;

then

3. the value of that asset has risen by GBP3.00 but without anything
   in the Income accounts to match it?
