The balance sheet report (both the old and the EGuile version) includes 
trading accounts in the calculation, at least in the 2.3.17 version 
(and previous 2.3 versions).  What balance report are you looking at 
that doesn't include them?

The Profit and Loss (aka Income Statement) report does ignore them and 
probably shouldn't.  I'm not sure whether they should be included by 
default.  Probably so, but maybe not.  Unfortunately, fixing this would 
break the string freeze so it will have to wait until after 2.4 is 
released.
