What does gnucash think the Account Commodity is?  From the Chart
of Accounts click (once) on the Stock Account and then click on
"Edit".  I bet this "stock" account is actually denoted in a
currency, probably because it was created from the New Hierarchy
druid and you didn't set it up then.

You need to create a real Commodity and reset the account to use it.
