EUREKA! finally figured it out. This is not a bug, per se.

After installing the the 5.2 upgrade with no changes to the decimal count, I
thought on it and wandered the accounts for a bit when it hit me. If you have
any stocks or other investments, click the 'Investments' top choice. Look at
the equities tab and right click the stock in question. If it is not there,
right click the open area and add it.

Either way you should be in the 'edit' New Investment Wizard. Check or enter
the data for this page and click 'next'. Page 2 is where the magic happens. In
roughly the middle of the page find "Fraction", with  "1/" prefix to the text
box and generally "100" in the text box. THIS is where you set the decimal
count! My dividend reinvestment plan creates new shares with up to six decimal
places. So, I added enough zeros to make it "100000". Saved that, reopened the
particular equity account, then imported (again) the QIF file with the trades
and dividends. LO AND BEHOLD (as the saying goes), I now have six digit decimal
values, a match for the Quicken account.

I looked through the user stuff and did not see a clean reference the Fraction
setting and what is does. To the programmers: I suggest a clean section about
this. If I missed it, please send me a note on where to find the information.
