Sorry, I meant to include it and forgot.
It is in Chapter 9: Investments, specifically:
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/invest_accounts1.html

The transaction currency in which the value field of every split is denominated

that account is in a non-currency commodity then the currency of first parent

My understanding is that the controlling factor is the currency of the parent,
not where you enter the transaction. But I could be mistaken.
The tree organization is really user dependent.
I think the Guide uses a slightly different organization where bank/brokerage
lies below with a separate

Glad to hear you managed to fix the data, but that raises the question why
