It does with 2.0.2-2.1 currently in unstable.  If one opens both the
preferences dialog and a scheduled transaction one can clock on "Use
formal accounting labels" in the preferences dialog and see the change
reflected immediately in the template transaction in the edit window.  

This only works if one doesn't select one of the fields for entry of a
formula, though - if one does that then the headings change to "Debit
formula" and "Credit formula" (ie, the headings as with formal
accounting labels selected).

One of the things I'm doing that produces a result I don't expect is
that the amount removed from an asset account is being presented as a
"credit" so I don't think that's what's going on here, at least not
entirely.

You did ask for suggestions, not trivial suggestions.
