I'm using Ledger 3.1.3-20190331 and your example works. There were some changes to balance assertions that make them work better in subsequent versions. It would likely be worth your time to use a more recent version: when I went from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3, my older tx records' BAs began to fail. I could trust that they _were_ working, so I could remove them or use the flag that turns them off (--permissive, iirc) when interacting with those records' files. I upgraded at a year boundary and simply sealed off my old records with an opening balances transaction.
