[GNC] Error deleting scheduled transaction split

[Patrick James]

Verifying this behavior R Losey reported using GnuCash 5.9 on Windows 11.

Also the "anchor" is not very strong, as I changed the split account that was supposedly anchoring the scheduled transaction, and then I could delete the split.

I would consider this a bug. It's definitely not a feature, but my larger question is about why the anchor message comes up if it's so easy to change the anchor split and then delete it.
