I really hate to rain on your parade... Check your Edit>Preferences>Accounts>Reverse Balanced Accounts.
I believe the default is labelled Credit, but that means Credit Card, Payable, Liability Equity and Income, and that is probably what is checked in your file. If that is so, then the balance should be positive, charges would be on the right and your payments would be on the left as shown, and the reconciliation is still backwards. However, if your liability account was a sub-account of an asset account you might see that behavior??? If that is true, you would need to move it under the Liability umbrella to make it correct. What bothers me, though is that you say previous months were ok. There was a change in release 2.6.16 that made it impossible to make that kind of error (if it is, indeed an error), but I do not know how it handles existing errors of that type. It may be necessary to revert to 2.6.15 to correct this (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603379#c24).
