Oh, I see the problem, and I guess it's a little different than I thought.
So amount and market(amount) doesn't 'balance' to zero, but they do
'balance' in the sense that ledger doesn't complain about it being
unbalanced, if they exist as a regular transaction:
2022/01/02 Interest
Assets:OBJ 1 OBJ {$5.00} [2022/01/02]
Income:OBJs $-5.00
1 OBJ {$5.00} [2022/01/02] Assets:OBJ
$-5.00 Income:OBJs
--------------------
$-5.00
1 OBJ {$5.00} [2022/01/02]
So the interesting thing is that it complains when it's an automated
transaction, even when it both would balance as a normal transaction and
would balance the original transaction to zero.
= %/inventory/
Equity:$account -1 OBJ {$5.00} [2022/01/02]
Equity:USD $5.00
2022/01/02 Interest
Assets:OBJ 1 OBJ {$5.00} [2022/01/02] ;
:inventory:
Income:OBJs $-5.00

Unbalanced remainder is:
$5.00
-1 OBJ {$5.00} [2022/01/02]
Amount to balance against:
$10.00

Error: Transaction does not balance
So I think you need to use either:

Indeed these do not throw errors, but they don't get me balanced to zero as
I'm intending.
Thank you for your time and response.
