Reconciliation vs balance assertions

[kriesel at nurfuerspam.de]

Hi Derek,

I did try to chase this down. Apparently in all 2.6 releases this is broken. This is what I get:

When modifying a non-reconciled other split it warns me that this might mess up reconciliation 
I then accept to change for the rest of the session
Now it will not warn me any more even when I change the reconciled split of the transaction

This is easy to reproduce with a new empty file. I am sure there was no warning about changing non-reconciled splits in 2.4 and it worked as you described then.

Cheers,
Christoph
