Doh, I should have thought of that ! Guile 2 precompiles the scm files and uses the precompiled 
versions as long as they are more recent than the uncompiled version.

So if you installed a selfcompiled version of gnucash at a more recent date than the date 
Kubuntu has created its 2.6.3 package, the compiled scm files (from 2.6.1) are more recent 
than the original 2.6.3 scm files and a guile won't recompile.

That's a subtle bug with our use of guile 2. The only sensible solution I see for this is to disable 
auto-compilation and instead compile the scm files as part of the build process. That way we 
can ensure the compiled scm files always match the uncompiled ones for the running version of 
GnuCash.

Thanks for reporting your solution. At least we know now what steps to take in the future.
