Did you look at both both directions in the price db?

Between versions 2.6.8 and 3.5 GnuCash inverted quotes < 1.0 because of a mis-begotten rounding scheme in 2.6 that truncated at 6 decimal places. The rounding was fixed in 3.0 but the reversal wasn't removed until Mike Alexander noticed it when working on a bug last spring.

Aside from a few days in January 2015 the CHF has traded at less than 1 EUR and the JPY of course always trade that way, so most of the CHF rates and all of the JPY rates should show up under EUR.
