It's also odd that the debit amount, 35769/20 (1788.45), is the value of the generated split in the /previous/ execution of the scheduled transaction.

It's the one created in an older version of Gnucash - the one that is 
causing the problem. The new one I created that works doesn't have a 
debit value in the credit split. The SX that's now causing problems was 
created in 2012.
