My mentioning starting with the budget tool was confusing; that's not
where I ran into the problem. Pretend like I deleted all mention of
budget in the OP.

No, this was on the Income Statement. The problem was that when a parent
account has entries and you select "parent account balances" = "do not
show" then the account get excluded and those entries are included in
the parent account subtotals for the revenue section, but the line entry
that one account is blank. When parent accounts are *only* placeholders,
that's fine. But in this case, it had it's own entries and was more than
just a roll-up of the sub accounts.
