Is it possible that there are single-split transactions in that account? They won’t show up in the register in 2.6.0 because of a bug that’s fixed in 2.6.1; this has been the source of several instances of weird balance problems. If you’re not able to use 2.6.1, you could try opening the file with 2.4.13 or 2.4.15, depending on what’s available for your distro.
