I believe this issue was probalby present since [1] and [2] were merged,
around ~5 days ago.

Similar commands seem to work in a Git checkout, so I'm not sure what's
goig wrong here.

Thanks,

Chris

This is because of cross-module inheritance, which is not safe because
'beancount' may not be evaluated by the time 'emacs-beancount' is.

Fixed in 805d70214a1b22da70a7545cb1eb49bb5d7484d8, thanks!
