Submit a patch.  But honestly, no, it's just not the way reports are
supposed to work.  Reports are based on individual accounts.  The fact
that the account tree sums up child accounts as an added convenience.
Just "select all accounts"  :)

Personally I think it would be even more confusing if I chose an account
and its subaccounts were automatically included.  Keep in mind that we
already have an "include subaccounts" flag for you to select all the
subaccounts from a tree.
