I might be misunderstanding the problem, but isn't the (supported) way to deal
with this just to edit each account from the CoA and change the type to Credit

If there are many affected accounts, it will be a bit tedious, but I should
have thought as a one-time only job, quicker & easier than hacking & testing
on the datafile?
