Even if this is set in the configuration, you can temporarily toggle  
the status with the "View/Show all accounts" menu item.  (I'm using git  
master, but I think that is the same as the 5.1 branch.)

I've had some confusion following you until I realize that by "the  
broker's ledger" you mean the ledger of the Investment Account for that  
broker.  Also, just because an Equity or Account does not show up on  
some screen or ledger, it is still present.  When adding a security,  
that just creates the account.  There is no such thing as initial  
number of shares, like there is an initial balance in cash related  
accounts.  You need to explicitly create an Add Shares transaction.

There have been some changes with those settings.  You can still  
control things as you could, some of the ways of doing so have been  
removed to simplify the interface.  Yes, it may seem more convoluted at  
first, but if you remember Ctl-Shift-A (same action as the View/Show  
all accounts menu item) it becomes easier.

Once you are ready for feedback or help, please start a new thread.  In  
my case, dividend reinvestments are annoying to deal with because  
Merrill Lynch sends thee separate OFX transactions instead of just one,  
and even though only two of them actually get imported, neither is a  
Reinvest Dividends, so I have to edit one and delete the other.  I  
don't know if this is anything at all like your problem, but let us  
know, when you are ready.
