It happens when you open the account and use it only store a price at a
later date (maybe when the first transaction is entered). The check looked
at a price to be available on the opening date. The extra work for the
program during the consistency check is simple and not noticeable.

BTW: the change also resolved an issue I had here myself where I opened
an investment account and never used it (only use it to play/test with).
