For some reason, LedgerSMB thinks you set up your CoA for 'hierarchy
reporting', but the "Current earnings" node apparently is not pointing the
right direction. When using "hierarchy reporting", all children of the
"current earnings" node will be included in your income statement.
The current earnings node is configured in the System > Defaults screen:

This is a clear indication there's something wrong with your hierarchy of
accounts, I mean the fact that Accounting Categories works, means that the
categories aren't messed up, nor is the mapping of categories to the
balance sheet. That means, your hierarchy may be off in the sense that the
hierarchy doesn't group the accounts you want grouped.

For the Income statement, setting a starting date has the same effect as
closing the prior year.

Given your screenshots above, I'd say that you should be able to get
expected (sane) output using the "Account categories" reports types. You
should be able to do that on 1.4.28.
The solution to getting "sane" output in hierarchy reporting, is to
determine your hierarchy requirements (e.g. do you want cost sub
categories, like "employee costs") and to create an account tree
accordingly.
Hope that helps!

Erik.
