Hi Jack

When I'm testing, I use an empty-ish test file (just has accounts set 
up, but empty) and just import into an empty account, so the prior 
balance was zero.

It isn't just with imports. The same happens when I manually enter 
transactions.  The first I enter shows with zero balance, a second one 
added then gets zero balance, and the previous one gets a balance just 
of the quantity from the second one.  Strangely, though, if I use my 
production file, I can import as normal into existing accounts.  
However, if I set up a new file there, and enter transactions, it fails.

I'm going to have to clear the sandbox and start from scratch. It just 
doesn't make sense.
