Paul, I confirm the behavior you describe, and I can tell you that it's been in that dialog for a very long time. I believe it has always behaved that way for me (and I've been using Gnucash over a decade). It probably is a bug, but I just used the same workaround that you found, and moved on.

[GNC] When reconciling an account, the proper interest account should come up
