I've just added a FAQ for the 2.2 -> 2.0 Root account issue:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_downgraded_from_GnuCash_2.2_to_2.0.3B_what.27s_up_with_this_ROOT_account.3F

It was my understanding that 2.0.5 had code to "ignore" the root account, but
apparently it does not, as per your experience.

The overview of 2.2 changes is at
<http://www.gnucash.org/#070715-2-2-0.news>, to help you decide if you want
to use 2.2 or not.
