Is there any way to get a report showing amounts 'as entered'. That is, are all foreign transactions converted by those rules in aggregate, or is there a method for getting the actual converted amounts tallied? (for example, the exchange rate might vary enough from the beginning of the report period vs. the end resulting in always having an incorrect report.)

Would employing trading accounts facilitate this with the currency splits existing in the transaction instead of the report having to estimate by one of those rules?

Regards,
Adrien

Even more, the REPORTS only use #2, not #1, to figure out the "value" of
an account in another currency.

Not exactly. Most reports have a Price Source option that allows you to select 
how commodity prices and currency exchange rates are retrieved. Last up through 
report date, closest to report date, and Most recent use the indicated date 
filter to select a price from the pricedb. The other two, Average cost of 
purchases weighted by volume and Weighted average of all transactions in the 
past calculate the price from the splits in all transactions in all accounts.
