Sorry, it seems it was all my own fault. I had an old set of gnucash schemas in /usr/local/share and I guess it was picking those up and silently ignoring the new ones. I have removed the old ones and now it is fine. It's not very user friendly in not generating a warning somewhere, at least not that I can find anyway. Looking at the dates I see the old ones were left over from from a DIY build I must have done in May 2016.
