/app is an alias for that long path when you're running inside the flatpak shell, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Using_Command_Line_Tools. Unless you also run a browser in the same flatpak shell--installing the browser with flatpak won't work, that will create a different container--the browser can't see the alias. I don't know offhand if there's a way for GnuCash to tell that it's running inside a flatpak or to get the outside-the-flatpak path to /app, but even if it could the URI would get invalidated the next time you update the GnuCash flatpak.
