Yes. I believe it has to be in order to use the "Get transactions" function.

Closing the account's register and re-opening it again had no effect -
the balances were still messed up.

I don't know if there's a way to do this if you're having Gnucash do
the transaction download for you. I think you have to open the
register first, and then do Actions -> Online
Actions -> Get transactions.
