Note
     flatpak --arch=x86_64 is only required, if you have a 64-bit 
processor with a 32-bit OS.

Do you have a 32-bit OS?
I thought you said you have a 64 bit operating system. I don't think 
this applies if you have a 64 bit operating system.

According to John's reply,
"I confirmed that it was a side effect of the bug 799347 fix. I've now 
fixed that differently along with the rest of bug 799370. Please try 
tomorrow's nightly build, see 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Nightly_Test_Versions_at_gnucash.org> 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Nightly_Test_Versions_at_gnucash.org 
for installation instructions."

According to the wiki:
Stable
     Version 5.8 plus all recent bug fixes, but no new features:
     https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/?C=M;O=D

Can I assume we are working out of here with bug fixes only?
IF so, is it really necessary to register the GnuCash night repository?

Couldn't you just click 
https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/?C=M;O=D and download the 
latest flatpakref for the nightly?
In this case, click 
gnucash-stable-C5.8-20-ga84189b79d-D5.7-2-ge45aa63c.flatpakref to 
download it.

Then you just run this (in the directory where your download is located) 
on the linux command line:
$ flatpak install 
gnucash-stable-C5.8-20-ga84189b79d-D5.7-2-ge45aa63c.flatpakref
