Well, I mis-remembered the name of the account that the Lots function sweeps to, it's "Orphaned Gains-USD" (the USD part is whatever currency you use; it's US Dollars for me, but it might be GBP for someone in England). 

But when I make an unbalanced transaction, the balancing split is created in "Imbalance-USD", not "Orphan-USD", so it's odd some of you are seeing the latter.
