A bit of background for ns...  All the business features use the same
underlying internal object, called GncInvoice.  Whether it's a "Customer
Invoice", "Vendory Bill", or "Employee Expense Voucher" is completely
based on the "owner" of the GncInvoice object.  It's a way of
sub-typing, so the interface changes based on the assignment.

This sounds like a bug in the (relatively new) business auto-complete
code.  When I originally wrote it, there was no auto-complete.  It
sounds like Bill and Voucher are somehow linked, which shouldn't be the
case IMHO.

There are no tax tables in an expense voucher because the intended
functonality is an employee filing receipts for expenses.  At least for
me, whether there is tax or not is completely unimportant to me getting
my money back from my employer.

So I see two options:

1) unlink Vendor Bill and Employee Voucher, or
2) make sure not to copy in data for non-existing columns when you complete.
