Yes, I understand... And this is exactly what "Card" is meant for. 
Employee Expenses charged back as "Card" are not reimbursed to the
employee; they are "charged" to the corporate card, which the business
pays directly.

This is true.  I don't know of a way around that at the moment.  I suppose
one could suggest an RFE for a hover-over popup of full account (or
subaccount name)?  Always displaying the account would be unimportant for
most of the use-cases of reconciling subaccounts, I think.
