Yes, I did verify.
Putting Imbalance under another account was suggested by someone on the
ML.
But on his suggestion I tried it and it works for me.
Since you ask, I did some more checking, here are my exact steps:
1) Create new Gnu File with default account structure
2) Enter an imbalanced transaction in Cash Account
3) Verified that Imbalance-USD is created at top level
4) Create Suspense account at top level
5) Edit Imbalance-USD and make it child of Suspense
6) Enter an imbalanced transaction in Cash Account
7) Verified that there is not an Imbalance-USD at top level
8) Verified that there are two transactions in Suspense:Imbalance-USD
9) Save and Close Gnu Cash
10) Open Gnu Cash
11) Enter an imbalanced transaction in Cash Account
12) Verified that there is not an Imbalance-USD at top level
13) Verified that there are three transactions in Suspense:Imbalance-USD
14) Enter an imbalance transaction in Checking Account
15) Verified that there is not an Imbalance-USD at top level
16) Verified that there are four transactions in Suspense:Imbalance-USD

I'm not sure how that would work.. If it wanted to re-use the account
it would look for Imbalance-<XXX> in the top-level. I'm PRETTY sure
that it doesn't look for the account by GUID, so if you move it
I would expect that it would just get re-created next time it's needed.
Have you actually tested this? Does it actually work with the
Imbalance account moved like that?
