I've now done some more playing around, inputting transactions that 
(appear to) match what the OP's screenshots show, apart from the names of 
the accounts and commodities.

I get the correct result: 32347.53. The fact that other splits are for 
other commodities really shouldn't matter, since they have cash values 
that don't change.

The only other explanation I can think of is that some other transactions 
exist, for the same commodity, with matching but opposite-signed share 
quantities and with different price-per-share.
