Sorry for my delay answering this mail.

Has this happened in the meantime? Usually Cristian is pretty good at that.

That sounds reasonable. When you create a new budget it always gets the name 
"Budget <current-year>". In case it exists, the name will be "Budget <current-
year> (<number>)" with <number> being incremented for each new budget. So if 
you create three budgets in an empty budget folder you get

  Budget 2011
  Budget 2011 (1)
  Budget 2011 (2)

and if your rename "Budget 2011 (1)" into "My new budget" and create the next 
one it will be named "Budget 2011 (1)" again, as this does not exist yet.

These two buttons have been moved to the area below the account tree. On top 
of that, you will be warned if you select another budget.

Partially confirmed and corrected. Hope that helps and is not too late.
