Aha! Indeed, unchecking those transations makes the problem go away (in that
the numbers now add up properly). In fact, checking only one of the two also
makes the problem go away. Further, at some point (I edited the ending
balance because I had mistyped the numbers, and then clicked something, but
I don't know what) all of the checkboxes became checked but the numbers are
still correct. On the other hand, when I uncheck the $4 part of the 11/05
transaction it now behaves as though the $21-dollar half has been unchecked
as well. I suspect
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721211 , fixed in 2.6.1.
I've got it working well enough now, and I'll upgrade to 2.6.1 before the
next reconciliation.

Thank you for your help!
