reproducible reliability issues in 2.4.13

Hi!

I have seen a new problem recently. When I enter a few transactions
and save my gnucash file (contain this year's transactions) and then
try to reopen it, gnucash complains:

"There was an error parsing the file file://path/to/file."

The problem is that I'm losing trust in gnucash if I can save a file
without problems but then cannot load it the next time I open it.
Going back to the previous version works, but then I lose the newly
entered transactions.

Perhaps understandably, I don't want to post the whole file. I have
however ungzipped the files, and here are diffs of two tries that gave
me broken gnucash files as result.

First one (diff ok broken):

Second try, I reopened the backup file, entered the "Kantine"
transaction, saved and loaded. Worked. Then I entered the other two
transactions, saved, opened, and it was broken. I suspect the "Sync"
transaction, but I don't know what's wrong with it.

Result of second try (diff ok broken2):

In case it matters, that's with 2.4.13 on NetBSD-6.99.24/amd64. I've
been using gnucash for years and have never seen that before.

Help very welcome!

Cheers,
 Thomas
