with the following minimal example i get an error on balancing the parent 
account:   

2000-01-01 open Assets:Parent CHF
2000-01-01 open Assets:Parent:Child CHF
2000-01-01 open Equity:Opening-Balance CHF
2000-01-01 open Expenses:Expenses CHF

;get random amounts on the accounts
2010-01-01 * "initialize"
    Assets:Parent:Child 20 CHF
    Assets:Parent 1 CHF
    Equity:Opening-Balance

; pad child and parent
2010-01-02 pad Assets:Parent:Child Expenses:Expenses
2010-01-03 balance Assets:Parent:Child 0 CHF

2010-01-04 pad Assets:Parent Expenses:Expenses
2010-01-05 balance Assets:Parent 0 CHF


$ bean-check testpad.bean 
>testpad.bean:17:      Balance failed for 'Assets:Parent': expected 0 CHF 
!= accumulated -20 CHF (20 too little)
>
>   2010-01-05 balance Assets:Parent                                   0 CHF

I would have expected the parent account to be padded to zero with no error.
removing the pad / balance of the child makes the parent balance correctly.
I do not understand, why does the balancing of the parent account fail?
How would I pad both accounts correctly?
Thanks!
