For consistency, that very wide button should probably either be changed
to a checkbox, then moved or copied to the Account Edit page as a
per-account preference. (it could remain in the dialog for
discoverability I suppose, which is what I mean by 'copied') One could
change it in either place, but ideally, it should be in one place.
I'm not sure a global preference (especially one that is ignored) is
necessary if each account can be set separately.

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.
