Sorry to bring back this issue, but I finally figured out what is going on:
although my initial example is indeed invalid in ledger (and hledger), the same
example using euros instead of dollars is accepted by ledger.
$ cat bug.ldg
2001/01/01 foo
Foo 1 €
Bar - 1 €
$ ledger -f bug.ldg bal
-1 € Bar
1 € Foo
--------------------
0
$ hledger -f bug.ldg bal
hledger: parse error at "bug.ldg" (line 2, column 13):
unexpected "-"
expecting comment or new-line
I'm not sure whether ledger should be "fixed" to refuse this input, or hledger
changed to accept it, but there is definitely an incompatibility here.
Best,
