Yes, it seems so.  But instead of updating the reciprocal exchange rate
when one currency value is added, the patch looks like it make GnuCash
internally check for both reciprocal exchange rate (hopefully picking the
latest one of the two).  If so, that's fine too.

Can someone confirm this problem is fixed in 2.2.8 or 2.2.9 ?
