Hi,
I don't think it's a bug as much as I don't understand why there is a
> Purchases field on the Service setup screen.

Because You can put services to Purchase invoices as well and then this
service cost ends up at chosen account. In the past I have used it for
services like transport. It's sometimes on the same invoice as parts, but
it doesn't go to inventory (it's just cost).
Anyway for Your case it doen't matter what You choose for sellable Service
as it doen't matter what I use as sales account for a purchaseble service.
Hope, it helps.
