Did you increase the version of the .rc menu file? Something that I also
run into myself.

OTOH, this could be much different in 5.1.  I am not working on 5.1 anymore.
Concentrate on master.

In the meantime I came across MyMoneyAccount::brokerageName() that returns
that constructed name for the brokerage account for an account of type
Investment. Not sure if that already exists in 5.1 though.
