Umm..  Sorry, this doesn't make sense to me.  What do you mean
by you "have the reminder on the screen as well as the invoice"?
What invoice?

That's not what I was asking.  Prepayment has nothing to do with
Orphan accounts or Adjustment accounts.  And you didn't answer
the questions I asked:

* did you overpay a bill?

* did you unpost and then repost a bill?

This behavior sounds like the classic result of this operation.
Look in your A/P account for "Automatic" transactions; it might
be causing problems.  And there was a bug at one point with
this code in A/P accounts.

2.3?  wow!  Have you got some time machine?

I don't see how they are connected.
