Actually, not only can money market funds 'break the buck' in some cases, there has also, even recently, been bank closures where depositors were temporarily unable to access their cash. At least there is another level of protection there in the US called the FDIC, but that too has limits. I would not document these risks in GnuCash beyond identifying the asset type correctly then only documenting a failure when it actually happens.
