I think it's a rounding problem.
The command to calculate the balance is the default *ledger balance*.
The fixed version of this specifies a commodity with decimal places.
*commodity $ format $1,234.562009/01/01 Shell Expenses:Gasoline
11 GAL {=$2.299} @ $2.30 Assets:Checking*
Without the commodity specification, ledger seems to round the amounts to
the nearest whole.
