Get Online Quotes not updating currency rates since 2.6.9

[Ian K]

OK so in 2.6.9 when I do Get Quotes I found a new entry GBP in the currency
list.
Since this is the first run, there are now 4 rows,  one for each currency vs
the GBP I use.
Under the USD entry there is a rate 1.5458.
That equates to the 2.6.7 entry under USD of 0.6469 (1/0.6469 = 1.545834)

The problem is that GnuCash isn't using these new rates even though they're
being put in the Price Editor

I started investigating this because between 2.6.7 > 2.6.9 my balance sheet
was showing different values when I updated prices online. Stock values were
changing but currency values weren't. This led me to believe currency rates
were not updating. So in 2.6.9 they're appearing somewhere else, which is
why I couldn't see them.

Now comparing balance sheet reports on the same file between 2.6.7 and 2.6.9
there is a problem.
The balance sheet report's options are 
General > Balance Sheet date > Today
Commodities > Currency GBP
Price source > Most recent
Show Foreign Currencies and Show Exchange Rates both checked.

On 2.6.7 the balance sheet report shows $1.00 £0.6469 in the currency rate
list.
On 2.6.9 the balance sheet report shows $1.00 £0.64939

So the 2.6.7 version is picking up the latest F::Q price correctly.
2.6.9 isn't picking that up.
I looked at where the 0.64939 was coming from, and it's the latest entry
under the old USD list:
26/10/2015 user:xfer-dialog 1854/2855

So while the price editor is now creating entries under a new GBP section,
the balance sheet isn't using those rates.
This also applies to the Net Assets shown on the account list, no just the
balance sheet.
