Yes! I played around with it some more and have tracked it down to one
particular transaction (simplified a bit for illustration purposes):
2017/05/16 Sold 85 shares of XYZ
Assets:Brokerage $3751.98
Expenses:Fees $5.03
Assets:Investments -85 XYZ
Specifically, ledger seems to be sensitive to the ordering of the postings
in this transaction. If the -85 XYZ line comes first in the transaction,
everything works as expected. If it comes last, ledger seems to interpret
the commodity of the first two postings weirdly.
Here's a simple example that demonstrates the issue using 'print --anon':
$ cat test1.ldg
2017/05/26 Pay for parking
Expenses:Parking $3.20
Assets:Bank:Checking
2017/05/16 Sold 85 shares of XYZ
Assets:Brokerage $3751.98
Expenses:Fees $5.03
Assets:Investments -85 XYZ
$ ledger -f test1.ldg print --anon

5b17cd1f:c9401451:d19ad95a A3.20
a67a81df:a4d957ed:1f7edb51:f811a1aa
2017/05/16 2e138708
8a9d2341:826bdd28:6026ad10 B3751.98
7e501425:9ab5c740:492f1c86 B5.03
39f15929:0ee197dc:bb49663d -85 C
Note how the currency on the first two postings of the second transaction
gets interpreted as 'B' rather than 'A', even though they were both
specified in dollars in the original. Moving the -85 XYZ posting to the top
of the transaction results in the expected output from 'print --anon':
$ ledger -f test2.ldg print --anon

Cheers,
Ben
