I wrote the original post, and it was NOT my intention to ask developers
to do any more than they have done already. What I said would be useful is
some documentation on tips for configuring the reports in a standard way.
Unfortunately, there is usually no "standard way" as such. For example,
those who do want subtotals are likely divided on the before vs after.
One development change that would be useful would be to have a button or
buttons for all expense accounts or all income accounts, so that if I added
an expense account, it would get picked up.
They do have the button, but IT isn't saved (whether pushed or not)
rather the RESULT of having it pushed or not is saved. The developers
will understand why I called that a "binding error" and why I consider
that a bug (of the report saving process). If the "save" were saving the
selection/exclusion rules (to be applied when the saved report is
reopened) instead of saving the result of applying those rules, then
would pick up any changes to the CoA.(+)

* -- I am NOT meaning to imply fixing would be easy. Probably both
"save" AND the "apply" of report options in all reports would have to
change. Right now we are able to do an "apply" after each change we try,
and most folks surely like that WYSIWYG behavior. At least where report
selection/exclusion is involved.
