Advanced portfolio doing weird things after upgrade to 2.0.5

[Oliver Iberien]

I've figured out that all of the affected accounts have split transactions. 
The conversion to 2.0.5 seems to have padded them with references to "Orphan" 
accounts, although I had been following the example at 
http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/invest-sell1.html to the letter. However, 
deleting and re-entering the transactions does not help at all. 

Does anyone know why split transactions would cause the Advanced Portfolio 
report to go haywire (although it worked perfectly in 1.8.12)?

Thanks,

Oliver
