After running into this bug I was told in IRC that it was an slib bug  
and as such I went to the Debian bts and found an existing bug report  
for it. I've added some comments to it and have been asked by the  
maintainer to provide evidence that this is actually a problem with  
slib and not gnucash. In particular he asks "...what scheme  
expression is being evaluated incorrectly, and in what context?"  
Please find his full email to me below.

Is someone able to provide me with an answer to his question?

How do you know this is a bug in slib?

That is, what scheme expression is being evaluated incorrectly, and in
what context?
