Not sure what the bug would be. You reconciled the transaction and then moved 
it. Should gnucash de-reconcile the entry? Personally, I don't really know; 
arguments could be made either way. 

One point to realize (and that others hinted at) is that the starting balance 
for the reconcile window is calculated by tallying *every* entry that is marked 
as reconciled-- regardless of the date of that entry. So, if you had an account 
opened in 2014, added reconciled transactions for 2020, and then asked to 
reconcile January 2014, the starting balance would include the reconciled 2020 
transactions.  This is strange, but known, behavior of the reconcile functions 
in GnuCash.

I tested that possibility, and it was negative. Fortunately I found
where the problem was, and it is related to the user.

I did not expect when I moved transactions from the bank account to a
holding account that the reconcile flag for the bank account would
remain.

It may be a bug.
