I figured it out. Duh.

There is a button on the Reconcile dialog that says "Enter Interest Payment". In addition to letting you enter an interest payment, clicking that button sets a per-account flag to always prompt for an interest payment when you reconcile.

On the Interest Payment dialog, there is a button "No Auto Interest Payments for this Account". (It's very wide, and I didn't realize it was a button.) That cancels the dialog, and also clears the per-account flag so GnuCash will no longer prompt for interest payment when you reconcile.

And the global preference Register, Reconciling, Automatic interest transfer? It does NOTHING at all. It sets a preference flag which is never used. It's supposed to be the default for accounts without the auto-interest-payment flag, but it doesn't work. Note that in libgnucash/engine/Account.cpp, the function xaccAccountGetAutoInterestXfer() ignores its default_value argument.

For just one of my accounts, the following odd thing started happening this month. I open the register and click Reconcile.  The expected Reconcile Information dialog box opens, but on top of that I get an Interest Payment box. Why would this pop up over Reconcile? Why only for one account? It started this month. What did I do to cause this?
