I don't think you are missing anything - that is just a limitation of  
the current design.  In master branch. the ledger for the "other"  
account does show scheduled transactions.  Even there, though, the  
"Scheduled payments"  section of the Home View only shows the "Balance  
after" for the primary account in which the scheduled transaction has  
been entered.  You could file a wishlist bug for it to also show the  
"other" account in case of transfer transactions.  Note it is likely  
that if that enhancement is done, it will be in master branch, and not  
likely backported to 5.1 because the ledger code is significantly  
different.
