I'm not confident that this is the best way to deal with this, but I
reconcile my reimbursable account. So, for example, I have the initial
entry recording the expense:

2011/11/01 Taxi ride to the airport
   Assets:Reimbursable:Prof        $35.00
   Assets:Cash

And then when the university reimburses me for the expense, I record

2011/11/10 Check from university
   Assets:Checking          $35.00
   Assets:Reimbursable:Prof

I then indicate that both "Reimbursable" lines have cleared. When I'm
current, I can run

ledger reg -U reimbursable:prof

to get a list of the reimbursements that haven't been marked as
reimbursed.

Works for me.
