FYI, this would be more efficient if you run:

  (gnc:debug
    (let* ((bal (gnc:account-get-balance-at-date acct date-val #f))
           (num (gnc:gnc-numeric-num bal))
           (denom (gnc:gnc-numeric-denom bal)))
         (/ num demon 1.0)))

This way you don't need to compute the balance multiple times.
