OK.  I have a Liability Account (Mortgage statement) that was a couple 
months since last reconciled.  I set the date to July 31 since that is 
the date of a the most recent payment.  Then I overrode the ending 
balance to ignore that last payment.  The override ending balance worked 
just fine (showed the amount I had typed in).

Unable to reproduce on my set of data.
