This turns out to be really complicated: deleting means deleting the 
invoice entry itself, tracking down the transactions that make up the 
invoice and deleting them, and so on.  A very thankless job, in my 
opinion.  Reposting the invoice is a weird experience: using Find to 
access the already-posted invoice causes an unposted version to appear. 

I think this is a bug: you should be able to shift the invoice and 
related transactions to the parent account, and either have the report 
recognize this, or have the relevant owner guids changed to align with 
the parent.

In the meantime, it may make more sense to simply change the ownership 
of the invoice.  Do I assume correctly that the entire guid string 
uniquely identifies the account?
