Well, it took some time, but the problem seems to be solved. I went
back a couple of years and eventually found some errors associated with
some fraudulent activity on my account. I also did some work fixing
errors in an associated savings account. When I finished that, all my
previously correct reconciled balances were wrong. So, I continued
searching for errors, until all those reconciled balances agreed with my
bank statements. I was finally able to balance my account for the
current month, but the beginning balance in the reconcile window still
showed a false, negative amount. Until this morning when I finally
balanced last month (Oct 2023). Suddenly, that beginning balance is now
correct. I still have no idea just what caused that false value to show
up, but things are working correctly now.
Thanks for all your help! :>)

Not sure how to use this help thread, but I have had a similar problem years ago which
recently started happening again. I solve it by exiting the reconciliation window and
then re-opening it. When the small reconcile information window opens, I click on the
"Statement Date" drop-down and choose the correct date by hand. This forces
some kind of re-computation of the beginning and ending balances.
You seem to have figured out the mailing list.
No need to quit and restart the reconcile, though: You can edit the reconcile
information with Reconcile>Reconcile Information... from the reconcile window's
menu.
