Thanks Derek. Yes, I did have balanced entries. That was the confusion. At least you corroborate that it is confused. Is there any logic to the weirdness that can be noted in the documentation?

Are you sure you added 1 to both the debits and credits?  If so, just
say Yes.  GnuCash's validation algorithms are.... weird.  And it often
can't validate correct formulae.
