Perfect timing! I just ran into the same issue last night, and prepared an
example file, but you beat me to sending it :)
Here's the file I prepared. I am circumventing it by splitting each transaction
with multiple commodities to multiple transactions with a single commodity in
each.
---- automated.dat ------
;
; I have two commodities defined, each priced at $1:
;
P 2016-01-01 00:00:00 ABC $1
P 2016-01-01 00:00:00 DEF $1
; And I defined an automated transaction to add a tax amount to the
; bill, while increasing my tax liability, every time I use the tax
; tag:
;
= %/tax/
$account 0.05
liabilities:tax -0.05
;
; These two transactions from February do exactly what I want. $5 is
; added to X, and the liabilities:tax gets additional negative $5 with
; each transaction
;
2016-02-01 foo
X ; :tax:
Y -100 ABC
2016-02-01 foo
X ; :tax:
Z -100 DEF
;
; with the following transaction, X is increased by $200, so I expect
; my tax liability to grow by $10, but in fact, it only grows by
; $5. As if only one of the commodities is "seen" by the automated
; transaction, and the other is ignored.

2016-03-01 bar
X ; :tax:
Y -100 ABC
Z -100 DEF

; Here are the generated transactions:

$ ledger -f automated.dat print --generated
2016/02/01 foo
X 100 ABC ; :mytag:
Y -100 ABC
X 5 ABC
liabilities:tax -5 ABC
2016/02/01 foo
X 100 DEF ; :mytag:
Z -100 DEF
X 5 DEF
liabilities:tax -5 DEF
2016/03/01 bar
X 100 ABC ; :mytag:
Y -100 ABC
Z -100 DEF
X 100 DEF
X 5 ABC
liabilities:tax -5 ABC
;
; and the balance report shows tax liability of -$15, instead of the
; expected $-20:
;
$ ledger -f automated.dat bal -H
$415 X
$-200 Y
$-200 Z
$-15 liabilities:tax
