Do you specify to create a payout transaction? If you skip that part, the 
balance is always 0. I agree, the opening balance field is a bit confusing and 
we should probably disable it for loan accounts.

If you don't want to see the funds in another account, simply turn on the 
'show equity accounts' feature and manually enter a transaction from the loan 
account to the opening balance account. That should do the trick.
