Thanks Jean,
I filed bug: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797854 for the
issue with the global preference not being honored.
And bug: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797855 for the button
issue on the two dialogs.
Feel free to combine them if you like. I wasn't sure of developers'
intent with the global preference, so I filed them separately.
Regards,
Adrien

If you open a bug about it, I can try to fix that (move things to the
right place etc). At the very least, the global option should be either
fixed, or removed.

For consistency, that very wide button should probably either be
changed to a checkbox, then moved or copied to the Account Edit page
as a per-account preference. (it could remain in the dialog for
discoverability I suppose, which is what I mean by 'copied') One could
change it in either place, but ideally, it should be in one place.
I'm not sure a global preference (especially one that is ignored) is
necessary if each account can be set separately.

I figured it out. Duh.
There is a button on the Reconcile dialog that says "Enter Interest
Payment". In addition to letting you enter an interest payment,
clicking that button sets a per-account flag to always prompt for an
interest payment when you reconcile.
On the Interest Payment dialog, there is a button "No Auto Interest
Payments for this Account". (It's very wide, and I didn't realize it
was a button.) That cancels the dialog, and also clears the
per-account flag so GnuCash will no longer prompt for interest
payment when you reconcile.
And the global preference Register, Reconciling, Automatic interest
transfer? It does NOTHING at all. It sets a preference flag which is
never used. It's supposed to be the default for accounts without the
auto-interest-payment flag, but it doesn't work. Note that in
libgnucash/engine/Account.cpp, the function
xaccAccountGetAutoInterestXfer() ignores its default_value argument.
